Which disorder is characterized by the hypersecretion of growth hormone in childhood/adolescence, resulting in excessive growth?

Which disorder is characterized by the thickening of bones and soft tissues in adults?

Which enzyme is responsible for converting fibrinogen into fibrin?

Which type of blood vessel contains valves and carries blood back to the heart?

Which class of anti-inflammatory drugs blocks all eicosanoid inflammatory pathways and prevents the production of arachidonic acid?

Which of the following is NOT a component of plasma in normal blood?

Which type of white blood cell is responsible for releasing histamine and stimulating immune response?

What is the function of erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the body?

Which layer of the adrenal cortex releases mineralocorticoids, such as aldosterone?

Which enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone into estrogen?

Which type of diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body still secretes insulin but is no longer reacting to it?
