front 9 When your body temperature is low, you rely on ________ to regulate your body temperature. check all that apply. a. shivering b. sweating c. increasing metabolic rate d. breathing heavy | back 9 a. shivering c. increasing metabolic rate |
front 10 If thyroid hormones are not released, you can regulate body temperature by _____, which requires a greater use of _____. a. shivering; oxygen b. sweating; calcium c. eating; glucose d. exhaling; carbon dioxide | back 10 a. shivering; oxygen |
front 11 When measuring oxygen consumption to measure metabolic activity, you must take into account the ____ of the mice, which is called ____. a. age; averaging the data b. length; averaging the data c. sex; normalizing the data d. weight; normalizing the data | back 11 d. weight; normalizing the data |

front 13 Select each of the following that describes how propylthiouracil (PTU) affects the body. Check All That Apply a. PTU inhibits the conversion of T3 into T4 in peripheral tissues.PTU inhibits the conversion of T3 into T4 in peripheral tissues. b. PTU increases the production of thyroid hormones.PTU increases the production of thyroid hormones. c. PTU inhibits the enzyme thyroperoxydase and the synthesis of thryroglobulin.PTU inhibits the enzyme thyroperoxydase and the synthesis of thryroglobulin. d. PTU inhibits the conversion of T4 into T3 in peripheral tissues. | back 13 c. PTU inhibits the enzyme thyroperoxydase and the synthesis of thryroglobulin.PTU inhibits the enzyme thyroperoxydase and the synthesis of thryroglobulin. d. PTU inhibits the conversion of T4 into T3 in peripheral tissues. |
front 14 Administration of PTU would produce the following effects on the synthesis of thyroid hormone? a. decrease thyroid hormone production b. no change in thyroid hormone production c. increase thryoid hormone production | back 14 a. decrease thyroid hormone production |
front 15 If you inhibit thyroid hormones with PTU (propylthiouracil) in mice the metabolic rate will ________. A low temperature the mice will shiver to maintain body temperature, which will cause the oxygen consumption to _______. a. decrease; decrease b. increase; decrease c. increase; increase d. decrease; increase | back 15 c. increase; increase Explanation If you inhibit thyroid hormones with PTU (propylthiouracil) in mice, the metabolic rate will increase and the oxygen consumption will increase. If PTU inhibits the thyroid hormones, the body will use shivering to increase the metabolic rate, which will cause an increase in the consumption of oxygen in order to produce ATP. |
