| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| T3/T4 function | increases and regulates metabolic rate |
| T3/T4 underproduction | hypothyroidism (myxedema) |
| T3/T4 overproduction | hyperthyroidism (Grave's disease) |
| calcitonin function | lowers blood serum calcium |
| parathyroid hormone function | raises blood serum calcium |
| PTH underproduction | hypoparathyroidism |
| PTH overproduction | hyperparathyroidism |
| cortisol function | stress response, raises blood glucose, protein/fat/CHO metabolism |
| cortisol overproduction | Cushing's disease |
| cortisol underproduction | Addison's disease |
| aldosterone function | increases sodium and BP; when serum sodium is low, aldosterone secretes to raise it; when potassium is elevated, aldosterone secretes to get rid of it |
| aldosterone underproduction | hypoaldosteronism |
| aldosterone overproduction | hyperaldosteronism |
| epinephrine/norepinephrine function | stimulates sympathetic stress response; increase strength of cardiac contraction; increases heart rate; increases conduction through AV node |
| epi/norepi overproduction | pheochromocytoma |
| insulin function | stimulates glucose absorption and lowers blood sugar levels |
| insulin underproduction | diabetes mellitus |
| insulin overproduction | hypoglycemia |
| glucagon function | breaks down glycogen and increases blood glucose levels |
| TSH function | stimulates thyroid to produce T3/T4 |
| ACTH function | stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol and aldosterone |
| growth hormone function | stimulates muscle and bone development |
| growth hormone underproduction | dwarfism |
| growth hormone overproduction | acromegaly; gigantism |
| antidiuretic hormone function | reabsorption of water at the kidneys and increases blood pressure; when serum sodium is elevated, ADH is secreted to dilute sodium |
| ADH underproduction | diabetes insipidus |
| ADH overproduction | SIADH |
| Thyroid | Where is T3/T4 produced? |
| thyroid | Where is calcitonin produced? |
| parathyroid | Where is PTH produced? |
| adrenal Cortex | Where is cortisol produced? |
| Adrenal cortex | Where is aldosterone produced? |
| adrenal medulla | Where are epi/norepi produced? |
| pancreas beta | Where is insulin produced? |
| pancreas alpha | Where is glucagon produced? |
| anTerior pituitary | Where is TSH produced? |
| Anterior pituitary | Where is ACTH produced? |
| anterior pituitary | Where is growth hormone produced? |
| anterior Pituitary | Where are FSH, LH, and prolactin produced? |
| gonads | Where are testosterone and estrogen produced? |
| posterior pituitary | Where is oxytocin produced? |
| posterior pituitAry | Where is ADH produced? |
