Q

deficient insulin effects (physiology)

A

glucose builds up in the bloodstream because not absorbed by cells
-kidneys detect hyperglycemia (over renal threshold of 160 mg/dL, then excrete glucose into the urine causing glycosuria and polyuria

Q

ketosis from low insulin

A

-high BG resulting from low insulin starves cells of energy
-cells compensate by breaking down energy and fat
-this causes abnormal levels of ketones, a product of fat breakdown, which leaves the body in the urine
-potassium and phosphate try to act as buffers and go into blood stream; they then leave the body in the urine, causing low electrolytes

Q

etiology of precocious puberty

A

-GnRH release is suppressed because hypothalamus is very sensitive to small amount of estrogen produced by the adrenal glands
-in puberty, the hypothalamus is becomes less sensitive to estrogen feedback
-if hypothalamus is damaged, can lead to early or late puberty and activation of GnRH

Q

Pituitary hormones: ADH

A

-source: neurohypophysis
-target: kidneys
-regulates fluid volume through urine output (decreases), increasing ECF

Q

Pituitary hormones: ACTH (corticotropin)

A

A

-GH increases bone and cartilage growth by increasing GI absorption of calcium

Q

Pituitary hormones: thyrotropin (TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone)

A

-source: adenohypophysis
-target: thyroid
-TSH stimulates thyroid gland to produce hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine)
-too little TSH leads to atrophy and inactivity of the thyroid gland; too much TSH causes hypertrophy (increased size) and hyperplasia (increase in number of cells) of the gland
