Low blood osmotic pressure has
Blood volume: HIGH
Solute: LOW
Stimulates ADH secretion
High blood osmotic pressure
Reduce fluid intake
Excessive sweating
Diarrhea
Hormone responsible for Calcium reabsorption
Parathormone
Responsible for water reabsorption
Adh or vasopressin
Responsible for sodium reabsorption
Aldosterone
Deficiency of Antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin

Signet ring
Secretes major thyroid hormones
Follicular cells of the thyroid gland
MAIN hormones of thyroid gland
T3
T4
ALL hormones of thyroid gland
T3/T4
Calcitonin
Increases metabolic function of the body
Maintains body temperature
T3/T4
Normal body temperature
36.5-37C
Secretes calcitonin
Parafollicular cells of the thyroid
Decreases blood calcium levels
Calcitonin
Has opposite function of calcitonin
Parathyroid hormone
Blood calcium levels
Calcitonin (parafollicular cells) :
Parathyroid hormone (chief cells) :
Blood calcium levels
Calcitonin (parafollicular cells) : decreases
Parathyroid hormone (chief cells) : increases
Thin = excessive metabolic function
High body temp = heat intolerance
Moist skin
Exophthalmia
Hyperthyroidism
Most common cause of hyperthyroidism
Grave’s disease
Another possible cause of hyperthyroidism
Plummer’s disease
