Q

Dysphagia

A

Difficulty swallowing

21
Q

Thyroid cancer

A

neoplasm of the thyroid gland; encompasses tumors, lymphoma and metastases from breast, colon, kidney or skin cancers

21
Q

Grave’s disease

A

hyperthyroidism when the thyroid gland grows resulting in goiter and overproduction of thyroid hormones

22
Q

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

A

When the immune system attacks the thyroid gland

23
Q

Goiter

A

Enlargement of the thyroid gland

24
Q

Atrophy

A

(n.) the wasting away of a body organ or tissue; any progressive decline or failure; (v.) to waste away

25
Q

Glucocorticoids (cortisol)

A

Regulate metabolism of carbs, proteins and fats

26
Q

ACTH (corticotropin)

A

Stimulates adrenal cortex to produce glucocorticoids

27
Q

Thyrotropin (TSH)

A

Stimulates thyroid gland and production of thyroxine

28
Q

Acromegaly

A

Hypersecretion of GH after puberty

29
Q

Hyperpituitarism

A

Excessive secretion of one or multiple hormones (often GH). Disorders and symptoms dependant on hormones affected

30
Q

Hypoglycemia

A

when the blood contains less than the normal amount of sugar; occurs when excessive insulin enters the bloodstream or when the glucose release rate falls below tissue demands

31
Q

Polydipsia

A

Condition of excessive thirst

32
Q

Polyphagia

A

Excessive eating

33
Q

Diabetes Mellitus

A

Caused by a deficiency of insulin or a decreased response to insulin in target tissues

34
Q

Hypoparathyroidism

A

reduced amounts of PTH. calcium levels decrease resulting in hypocalcemia which in turn can cause over stimulation of the skeletal muscles

35
Q

Myxedema

A

acquired hypothyroidism in which t4 is reduced

36
Q

Cretinism * congenital

A

hypothyroidism where thyroid gland is absent or t3/t4 is not produced

37
Q

Dwarfism

A

Underdevelopment in children caused by hypopituitarism

38
Q

Thymosin

A

Development of immune cells

38
Q

Estrogen

A

Female sex characteristics

39
Q

Glucagon

A

Increases concentration of glucose in blood

39
Q

Epinepherine

A

Fight or flight response

39
Q

PTH

A

Elevates calcium level

40
Q

T4 and T3

A

Regulates rate of cellular metabolism

41
Q

Oxytocin

A

Uterine contractions; ejection of milk;

42
Q

Vsopressin ADH

A

water reabsorption by renal tubules

43
Q

MSH

A

Stimulates skin pigmentation

44
Q

Luteinizing LH

A

causes ovulation;
stimulates ovaries to produce estrogen and progesterone;
stimulates testosterone development

45
Q

Growth hormone

A

Promotes bone/tissue growth

46
Q

Hypopituitarism

A

Condition of diminished hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary gland

47
Q

Gigantism

A

Abnormal overgrowth of the entire body that is caused by excessive secretion of the growth hormone before puberty
