Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate, and fatigue. $\quad$ profuse sweating, increased heart rate, and difficulty Patient B has symptoms including weight loss,
Based on what you know about negative feedback mechanisms in the endocrine system, which of the following lab results would indicate hypothyroidism due to primary thyroid disease (assuming that it was possible to get results for all three hormones)? low TSH high TSH low T4 high T4 low TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone) high TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone)

Part II - Research Dr. Siddiqui tells Angela that her test results will be back in a few days and that she will give her a call when she knows something. You go home and do some research on various thyroid conditions so that you'll have a good idea of what is going on with Angela. You find information on hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiter, Graves' Disease, iodine deficiency (primary hypothyroidism), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and various tumors. You make a chart to help yourself sort out the different disorders. Questions 3. Describe hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. List at least three symptoms of each. 4. What is a goiter? 5. Please fill out the chart below. Record whether the hormone levels are expected to be high, low, or either. For antibody/immunoglobulins and goiter, answer yes, no, or possible. (The antibodies and immunoglobulins in question are those specific to the thyroid disorder.)
