|---|---|
| Endocrine system nervouse system uses... | nerves to conduct information |
| Endocrine System uses blood vessels to | conduct info |
| Endocrine system electrolytes = | Mineral salts found in blood |
| Endocrine glands | secrete their hormone directly into the bloodstream |
| Endocrine Glands are responsible for these organs... | *Thyroid Gland *Parathyroid glands (four glands) *Adrenal glands (one pair) * Pancreas (islets of Langerhans) *Pituitary gland *Ovaries (one pair) *Testes (one pair) *Pineal gland * Thymus Gland |
| Pineal Gland | Secretes Melatonin located in Brain |
| Rt & Lt Lobes of thyroid gland located | On each side of the trachea |
| Thyroxine | Manintain a normal level of metabolism in all body cells |
| Calcitonin produced by | Thyroid gland |
| Homeostasis | Consistency of internal enviroment |
| Adrenal Cortex secretes... | Corticosteriods or steroids |
| Glucocorticoids | Influence metabolism of sugars, fats, and proteins and are antiinflammatory |
| Proteins | (cortisol) |
| Anti-inflammatory | Cortisone |
| Aldosterone | regulates concentration of mineral salts in the body |
| How many hormones does the Andrenal Medulla secrete? | 2 |
| Adrenal Medulla secretes... | Catecholamine hormones |
| Epinephrine | Adrenaline |
| Norepinephrine | noradrenaline |
| Name sympathomimetic agents | Epinephrine (adrenaline) Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) |
| sympathomimetic agents...(definition) | mimic/copy actions of sympathetic nervous system |
| Adrenal cortex secretes three types of ... | corticosteroids |
| Name the 3 corticosteriods | *Glucocorticoids *Mineralcorticoids *Sex hormones |
| Mineralcorticoids... | Aldosterone; Increase salt (sodium) reabsorption |
| Pancreas location... | Near and partially behind stomach |
| Pancreas Exocrine and Endocrine | 2 roles: Bloodstream Outside body chemical ducts |
| Islets of Langerhans produce | Insulin |
| Glucagon | Promotes movement of glucose into the blood by breaking down glycogen stored in liver cells |
| Pituitary gland (anterior lobe) Acromegaly | hypersecretion of hormone due to adenohypophysis Aka Anterior Pituitary gland; hyper secreting its hormone |
| Syndrome of inappropriate Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) | Due to hyper secretion of hormone; by posterior lobe of pituitary gland |
| Radioactive Iodine Uptake (RAIU) | Used to assess thyroid function; test for endemic goiter. |
| Abbr: ADH | Antidiuretic hormone |
| Abbr: BMR | Basal Metabolic Rate |
| Abbr: DM | Diabetes Mellitus |
| Abbr: FBS | Fasting Blood Sugar |
| Abbr: GH | Growth Hormone |
| Abbr: IDDM | Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (types 2 DM) |
| Abbr: K+ | Potassium |
| Abbr: Na+ | Sodium |
| Abbr: NIDDM | Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (type 2 DM) |
| Abbr: TSH | Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone |
| (Secondary complications of Diabetes): Diabetic Retinopathy | Destruction of the blood vessels of the retina causing visual loss and blindness |
| (Secondary Complications of DM) Diabetic nephropathy | Destruction of the kidneys causing insufficiency and often requiring hemodialysis or renal transplantation |
| (Secondary complication of DM) Atherosclerosis | Destruction of the blood vessels, leading to stroke, heart disease, and peripherovascular ischemia |
| Peripherovascular Ischemia | Gangrene, infection and loss of limbs |
| (Secondary complications of DM) Diabetic Neuropathy | Destruction of nerves invovling pain or loss of sensation most commonly in extremities |
| (Secondary complications of DM) Gastroparesis | Loss of gastric motility |
