  1. Are there any doctors or scientists or anything around? I know djrlewis (I think that's him?) is a vet, but I haven't seen him round here for yonks.

    After one to ask about a couple questions that I have coming up in an exam soon.

    Cheers!
  2. We never really seem to discuss professions on here. I don't recall seeing any doctors myself.
  4. Google is your friend what are the questions?
  5. You have been exposed to radiation. Describe the body's response given that iodine takes up radiation very easily.

    Where I need to describe anatomically and physiologically the body's response to the irradiated iodine/iodine isotopes. Including the endocrine system, cardiovascular system, immune system and whatever else it may effect.

    Are you a doctor haha?

    is this a 'it's not for me honest, it's for a friend' situation?

    has the snatch hunting backfired?

    HAHHAHAHHAH actually lolling.

    If it had I can assure you I would be the first to go see the doctor. I love my junk waaaaaaay too much (like most young blokes I assume) to let anything happen to it

  8. Every time I google my symptoms I end up with three cancers and two more months of life left.
  9. Think I've worked the answer out myself from my notes anyway, cheers

    Radiation - Hypothalmaus release more thyrotropin releasing H (TRH) into APG > APG release more thyroid stimu H (stims thyroid H synth/secretion). TH synth – thyroglobulin (Tg) synthed by T follicular cells, secreted into colloid by exocytosis > T follicular cells capture iodide from blood via I pump > I activated, moves into colloid > in colloid I attaches to tyrosine within Tg and yields monoiodotyrosine (MIT) and/or 2 I attach to tyrosine within Tg molecule, gives DIT > coupling of MIT and DIT = T3 and/or 2xDIT = T4 > after stimu, TFC engulf 1xTg molecules by phagocytosis > lysosomes attack engulfed vesicle, split iodinated products from Tg > T3/4 diffuse to blood, MIT/DIT deiodinated, free I recycled > thus metabolic activity increases due to hyperthyroidism (HR, weight, anxiety)

    Not a doctor lol, but i am studying chem and bio at uni. This time next year id be able to help you, since im doing all my human sciences then. This year was all environmental sciences, got any questions related to botany, zoology or ecology? Haha.

  11. Yeh i typed my symptoms into google once, will never do it again. Said i was having a heart attack when really it was just a sore chest from stretching one of my arms haha.

    For other effects would the possibility of gene mutations be one?
