Why is ACTH elevated in Addisons disease?
The steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex exhibit feedback inhibition on ACTH production, therefore a low concentration of corticosteroids (as seen in Addisons disease) will not exhibit this feedback inhibition. Without this inhibition, ACTH levels are not regulated and therefore rise.
What part of the brain did the hard work of helping you understand the content of this course once the sensory information from your eyes was received?
One popular theory is called the two stream theory. It stipulates that after the visual cortex of the occipital lobe receives the sensory information of the eyes it is redirected in two main streams. The dorsal stream (the "where stream") goes to the parietal cortex and determines where to object we see is located in relation to our own body (a virtual map of our body's position is obtained in the parietal cortex). The ventral, or "what" stream leads the information to the temporal lobe and identifies what we see.
What disease does Adalia Rose have?
Adalia Rose has a condition called Progeria. It is an extremely rare condition that causes rapid physical ageing in children. Those with the condition rarely live past the age of 13. See the related link below for more information.
The condition of having many sets of chromosomes?
Polyploidy is the condition of having multiple complete sets of chromosomes in a cell or organism. This can occur in plants and some animals, and often leads to increased genetic diversity and potentially altered physical characteristics in the organism.
The absence of insulin leads to the loss of?
The absence of insulin leads to the loss of glucose control in the body, resulting in high blood sugar levels. Over time, this can lead to complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis, nerve damage, and organ damage.
What is connors syndrome?
Conn's syndrome, also known as primary hyperaldosteronism, is a condition characterized by excessive production of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands. This overproduction often leads to hypertension (high blood pressure) and low levels of potassium in the blood. The condition can be caused by an adrenal adenoma (a benign tumor) or adrenal hyperplasia. Treatment typically involves medication to control blood pressure and potassium levels, or surgery to remove the tumor if present.

What causes addison's disease?
most common cause of Addison's disease is the destruction and/or shrinking (atrophy) of the adrenal cortex. In about 70% of all cases, this atrophy is believed to occur due to an autoimmune disorder
What are nephrons and why are they important?
Nephrons are the smallest functional filtering units of the kidneys. They are located in the adrenal cortex (outer crust) which is considered the urine manufacturing facility. The adrenal medulla (inner core) is the urine collecting facility. The urine then goes into the renal pelvis which leads to the ureters, tubes that lead to the bladder where it is stored until you urinate. The urine then leaves your body through your urethra. Medically this is called micturition. See the link below: This is a complete nephron. ( Αdrenal medulla ?? )
