Endocrine system

Endocrine glands make hormones secreted by which go directly into bloodstream.

Major pituitary glands- pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, Islets of Langerhans- (in the pancreas)

Growth Hormone (GH) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Prolactin Hormone (PRL) Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) Oxytocin

Pituitary- master gland

Thyroid- regulates metabolism

Parathyroid glands- PTH regulates blood Ca

Islets of Langerhans- found throughout pancreas, secrete insulin, glucagon.

Hormone made in Islets of Langerhans-

Raises blood sugar level, has opposite effect of insulin

Released by pancreas when blood sugar level is too low.

Causes liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose.

Hormone made in Islets of Langerhans-

Regulates energy and glucose metabolism in the body.

Lowers high blood sugar levels.

Causes cells in liver, muscle, fat tissue to take up glucose from blood.

Stored as glycogen in liver and muscle.

Cortisol Epinephrine Norepinephrine T4, T3 Aldosterone

Aden/o = Adren/o,

adrenal/o = Cortic/o =

cortex Endocrin/o = Parathyroid/o

= Pituitar/o =

Thyroid/o, thyr/o = Acr/o = Calc/i = Dips/o = Kal/i = Natr/o =

Suffix: -drome = run, running

Parathyroidoma Hypothyroidism Hyponatremia Adrenalitis Adenomegaly

Acromegaly Hyperpituitarism Hypocalcemia Hypolycemia Hypokalemia Adnenosis

Excessive production of cortisol. May be a result of a pituitary tumor or adrenal gland dysfunction.

Abnormal concentration of ketone bodies resulting from excessive fat metabolism.

Enlargement of the thyroid gland

Caused by ___ deficiency

Condition brought about by over production of growth hormone

Condition affects nerves causing muscle spasms. Caused by low ____

blood. Due to a deficiency of ______ hormone.

Resistance of body cells to the action of insulin. Usually occurs in middle-aged or elderly pts. Diet, exercise, meds, insulin can help.

Beta cells are destroyed, eventually insulin not produced. Occurs in childhood.

Growth hormone regulates the growth of the body.

Growth hormone regulates the growth of the body

pituitary hormones.

RAIU abbreviates the medical term meaning:  

A. nuclear medicine scan that measures thyroid function

B. blood test to determine the amount of glucose in the blood     

C. blood test that measures the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood     

D. a blood study that gives the direct measurement of the amount of

thyroxine in the blood  

A. nuclear medicine scan that measures thyroid

function

Endocrinopathy Euglycemia Polydispsia Syndrome Adrenocorticohyperplasia
