Module 2 – Set 2 Select A or B A patient visits their doctor with symptoms of fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold, despite maintaining a normal diet and lifestyle. Blood tests reveal low levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and high TSH levels. Explain how thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) regulate basal metabolism and energy production in the body. Why might TSH be elevated in this patient, and what does this indicate about thyroid function? After a meal high in carbohydrates, blood glucose levels rise. In a healthy individual, how do the beta cells and alpha cells of the pancreas work together to restore blood glucose homeostasis? Now, consider a situation where the person skips a meal—how does the pancreas respond to prevent dangerously low blood sugar? Explain the roles of both insulin and glucagon in these processes and what would happen if one or both hormones were not functioning properly.  college student is preparing for a difficult exam and experiencing chronic stress. Blood tests show elevated cortisol levels along with increased CRH and ACTH. Additionally, the student has symptoms of rapid heartbeat, sweating, and increased alertness, which are associated with epinephrine and norepinephrine release. Explain how the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulates cortisol release, including the roles of CRH and ACTH. How do glucocorticoids like cortisol help the body cope with chronic stress, and what are some long-term effects of prolonged cortisol elevation?

Why do both systems activate during stress?
