Use the information from lecture and lab powerpoints and the textbook to determine which part of the endocrine system could be experiencing problems in the scenarios below. List some other information
that could confirm or rule out your initial diagnosis (tests you might be able to run or questions to ask
the patient or relatives). Explain your reasoning.

A 27 year old female enters the clinic complaining of fatigue, fluid retention (especially in
her face), and a cold that she just cannot kick. She is studying for her midterms (she is a first
year physician's assistant student) and her roommate finally convinced her to come in;
because she is always sick and always grumpy.

What effect does plate tectonics have an organic evolution

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
