assesment / endocrine disorders Flashcards
chemical reaction occurs @ rest
basal metabolic rate
eye bulging
exopthalmos
cellular communication system involving chemical messengers
endocrine system
what exerts effects on specific tissues -> target tissues
hormones
bind to receptor sites on or within target tissue cells
hormones
what body functions are regulated by endocrine
-balance metabolism
-reproduction
-water and electrolyte balance
-nutrient absorption
compare hormone levels of anterior and posterior pituitary
anterior = lots of hormones
posterior = little hormone
what is the thyroid responsible for?
metabolism
what is the parathyroid glad responsible for?
calcium regulation
what is the outside of the adrenal called and what does it do
adrenal cortex has sugar salt and sex
what is the inside of the adrenal and what does it do
medulla, has catecholamines, epinephrine, and norepinephrine
what is the negative feedback loop in which TH is increased when there is a defecit
low TH -> hypothalamus -> TRH -> anterior pituitary -> TSH -> thyroid gland -> increased TH
what are amines and amino acid derivatives
-epinephrine, norepinephrine, and thyroid hormones
-they act immediately
which hormones act within seconds / minutes
peptides, polypeptides, proteins, and glycoproteins
-act in several hours
-corticosteroids
steroids
