Free T4 test measures the level of free T4, or free thyroxine, in your blood. A free T4 test is used to find out how well your thyroid gland is working. Some T4 in your blood is bound to proteins, and some T4 circulates freely, or unbound from proteins. Testing for unbound T4 is more accurate than testing for bound T4 because it is not affected by protein levels and is the active form of thyroxine and in most cases, its use has replaced that of the total T4 test.
Why is the free T4test performed to the total of T4 for diagnosis of thyroid function?
a)
Considering the Case Study, what are T4 and
T3?
1. T3 is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, and
T4 is the thyroid inhibitor produced by the
hypothalamus
2. both are hormones produced by the hypothalamus that stimulate
function of the thyroid gland
3. T4 is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland
that stimulates production of T3 by the thyroid
gland
4. both are hormones produced by the thyroid gland
b) why are TSH levels markedly decreased?...

Why is each of the following symptoms consistent with the levels
of thyroid hormone as revealed in the lab test?
Weight Loss
Increased resting heart rate
Increasing mass in the neck
Test Results Normal Range TSH 0.09 0.30 – 5.50 mIU/L Free T4 27. | 10.3 – 24.5 pmol/L 3.5-6.5 pmol/L Free T3
1. What effect does elevated levels of TBG have on total T4 and on free T4 values? Explain your answer 2. What is the name of the tumor associated with elevated levels of catecholamines, metanephrines, and VMA? 3. What general biochemical class of hormones is cortisol (steroid or nitrogenous)? Describe the general mechanism of action of this class of hormone.
The
patient has an autoimmune reaction which causes hypersecretion of
thyroid hormone T3 and T4. This effects the secretion of other
hormones in this pathway due to?
Left:0:35:09 Younis Yusuf: Attempt 1 A patient has an autoimmune reaction which causes hypersecretion of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). This affects the secretion of other hormones in this pathway due to: 1) antagonistic pathways 2) positive feedback 3) permissive effect 4) negative feedback Save 8 MacBook Pro
The results of Felix’s thyroid function labs indicate that he has hypothyroidism. (a) Discuss the normal negative feedback loop that regulates thyroid hormone release, starting with the hypothalamus. (b) Briefly describe how the thyroid gland responds to TSH. (c) Suppose that Felix’s levels of TSH and T4 were both abnormally low. Considering the normal negative feedback loop regulating the thyroid gland, explain how these lab results are possible.
Describe the negative feedback loop for T3 and T4 in the HP-Thyroid axis. Must include the hormones and anatomical structures involved.
Regulation of thyroid hormones uses: Answers A D inactive T3 goiters a negative feedback system unbound T3 and T4
Thyroid regulation of Cellular Metabolism Describe the microscopic organization and function of the thyroid Compare and contrast the endocrine activity of thyroid hormone The thyroid and parathyroid maintain blood calcium homeostasis Describe the endocrine function of each hormone on bone synthesis and blood calcium levels Parathyroid glands are embedded within the posterior thyroid gland Secretes Parathyroid hormone (Parathormone, PTH). PTH action also induces calcitriol secretion
