Some glands affect multiple functions in the body, and other glands are more specialized. Consider these glands: adrenals, liver, pancreas, pituitary, salivary, and thyroid. The table categorizes these glands according to the functions they regulate. (Functions are listed in the top row.) Which labels should replace the numbers to correctly complete the table?

2. A doctor is trying to diagnose a patient with short stature. She plots the girl’s growth in red on the growth chart below to compare it to the typical growth rates, which are shown in black.A graph titled Stature for age percentiles: Girls, 2 to 20 years. The graph shows lines ranging from 60 to 70. The red line falls at 54.Based on the data, which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?gigantisman underactive pituitary glandan overactive pituitary glandan overactive adrenal gland

3. Which function is performed by both goblet cells and lacrimal glands?
digestion
stress regulation
protection
growth regulation

4. Which structure can secrete a substance into the environment surrounding the body?
lacrimal gland
adrenal gland
pancreas
pituitary gland

5. Which structure secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream without using a duct?
lacrimal gland
adrenal gland
oil gland
salivary gland

6. Which exocrine structure is involved in the digestion of fat?
lacrimal glands
liver
oil glands
salivary glands

7. The hypothalamus controls excretions from the pituitary gland. It causes the release of hormones from the pituitary by direct nervous control, and by secreting substances that stimulate the pituitary to secrete hormones. Which best describes the hypothalamus?
It is a connection point between the nervous and endocrine systems.
It is both an exocrine and endocrine gland.
It is referred to as the “master gland.”
It secretes its contents into ducts.

8. A doctor is diagnosing a patient with gigantism. Which of the following sources would be the least helpful in making that diagnosis?
growth chart
medical book
patient’s family history
patient's diet

9. Which statement best describes hormones?
Hormones are only made of peptides.
Hormones travel attached to white blood cells.
Hormones travel through the bloodstream.
Hormones are secreted through ducts.

Here's the completion of the questions based on the information provided:

Based on the functions, the correct labels to replace the numbers are:

Number 1 is Behavior
Number 2 is Pituitary
Number 3 is Growth
Number 4 is Thyroid

So, the correct answer is: Number 1 is Behavior, 2 is Pituitary, 3 is Growth, and 4 is Thyroid.

Given that the girl's growth falls in the 54th percentile, a diagnosis of underactive pituitary gland is the most likely because it suggests a deficiency in growth hormone production, typical of such a condition.
The function performed by both goblet cells and lacrimal glands is protection, as goblet cells secrete mucus that protects and lubricates epithelial surfaces while lacrimal glands produce tears to protect the eyes.
The structure that can secrete a substance into the environment surrounding the body is the lacrimal gland, which secretes tears.
The structure that secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream without using a duct is the adrenal gland.
The exocrine structure involved in the digestion of fat is the liver (producing bile, which emulsifies fats).
The best description of the hypothalamus is: It is a connection point between the nervous and endocrine systems.
The least helpful source in diagnosing a patient with gigantism would be the patient's diet, as diet has less direct relevance compared to growth charts and medical history.
The statement that best describes hormones is: Hormones travel through the bloodstream.
The system represented by the diagram that includes the hypothalamus, pineal gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, and reproductive glands is the endocrine system.

90!

Calculating \(90!\) (90 factorial), which is the product of all positive integers from 1 to 90, results in an extremely large number. This number itself has 138 digits.

Because of its size, \(90!\) is typically expressed in scientific notation or as part of computational programming. Here's the value of \(90!\) in scientific notation:

\[ 90! \approx 1.485717 x 10^{138} \]

If you need to use \(90!\) in calculations or require it in a different format, let me know!
