exam 4 patho Flashcards
exocrine vs endocrine
exo: contains ducts (pancres-amylase/lipase)
endo: ductless-> circulation (insulin/glucagon)
pineal gland
info abt light and dark-> melatonin (secreted at night)
pituitary gland
master gland
Anterior: GH, ACTH, TSH, FSH, LH, prolactin
posterior (storage): oxy, ADH
GH
bones/muscles (adrenal/cortical hormone)
height=genes+ GH
ACTH
stim sec/synthesis of ACH
FSH
males: inc sperm production
females: growth ovarian follicles/ovulation
LH
male: stim sec testosterone
female: stim dev corpus luteum, release of oocyte (egg cell), prod estrogen/progesterone
prolactin
prepares fem breasts for breast feeding (inc during PG/lact)
Oxytocin
stored in post pit
stim contraction of PG uterus, milk, ejection at birth
should place baby immediately on breast-> stim oxy-> helps uterine contraction (protective)
ADH
inc water reabsorption
hypothalamus
regulated pituitary
pancreas
has islets of langerhans
glucagon: alpha cells, inc BG
insulin: B cells, dec BG
thyroid
at base of neck, below larynx
contains follicles
secretes calcitonin and T3/4
calcitonin
sec from thyroid
dec blood/ca level by bringing ca to bones
T3/4
inc metabolic rate. esp necessary for fetal/infant G&D. also, inc responsiveness to catecholamines
PTH
inc serum Ca level (balances calcitonin)
adrenal
in ea kidney. has medulla (epi/nor), and cortex: aldosterone, cortisol, androgen, estrogen
EPI/NOR
in medulla of adrenal gland. released during stress
aldosterone
in outer cortex. mineralcorticoid
cortisol
in middle cortex. glucocorticoid.
fxn: metabolism, regulates BG level, growth, antiinflammatory,
dec effect of stress
androgen/estrogen
released by innermost adrenal cortex layer
gonadocorticoids
minimal effect. masked by testes/ovaries.
SIADH
CA: carcinoma/transients SIADH d/t pit surgery/some drugs
pathway: inc ECF, dilution serum Na, inc concentrate urine
S/S: hyponatremia (<115) confusion/lethargy/muscle twitch/seizure/coma/irreversible neuro damage
Tx: democlocycline, hypertonic, diuretics
DI
opposite of SIADH
neurogenic: ADH is low 2* malfxn post pituitary
nephrogenic: normal ADH, but nephrons don’t respond
-> inc urine
S/S: AMS, insomnia, polydipsia, weight loss, nocturia, inc urine (4-18 l/day)
Tx: desmopressin, pitressin (synthetic ADH)
nephro tx: thiazide, prostaglandin
DM definition
chronic inc BG ->
disorder of carbs/fat/protein metabolism. inc BG, 2* to inability to produce/utilize insulin
complications: heart dx, renal, PVD, eye probs
