Fill-in-the-Blank Endocrine Drugs Flashcards
Process by which an end product shuts down further production of the end product.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
This gland sends hormones that stimulate the pituitary gland.
HYPOTHALAMUS
Gland stimulated by the hypothalamus.
PITUITARY GLAND
Chemical compound put into the body that originates from outside of the body.
EXOGENOUS COMPOUND
Chemical compound that originates from within the body.
ENDOGENOUS COMPOUND
What gland releases TSH?
PITUITARY GLAND
What gland does TSH stimulate?
THYROID GLAND
What structure releases TRH?
HYPOTHALAMUS
What gland does TRH stimulate?
PITUITARY GLAND
What hormone directly stimulates the thyroid to produce T3 and T4?
THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH)
Which thyroid hormone is the biologically active hormone?
TRIIODOTHYRONINE (T3)
Which thyroid hormone is converted by the tissues into the biologically active form based upon the tissue’s metabolic need?
TETRAIODOTHYRONINE (T4) = THYROXIN (T4)
What provides the negative feedback on the pituitary and hypothalamus?
T3, T4
Too much thyroid hormone is what condition?
HYPERTHYROIDISM
Too little thyroid hormone is what condition?
HYPOTHYROIDISM
Hypothyroidism caused by a tumor that destroys the thyroid gland would be classified as what type of hypothyroidism? (primary, secondary, tertiary)
PRIMARY
Surgical removal of a part of the hypothalamus involved with a cancer growth resulting in hypothyroidism would be classified as what type of hypothyroidism?
TERTIARY
What type of hypothyroidism (primary, etc.) has the worst prognosis?
SECONDARY AND TERTIARY
What thyroid disease results in an enlarged thyroid gland from a lack of iodine?
GOITER
Species of animal that suffers from poor CNS development and contracted tendons if the mother animal is hypothyroid during pregnancy.
HORSE
Treatment of choice for canine hypothyroidism.
LEVOTHYROXINE
Secondary treatment drug for canine hypothyroidism, if first choice drug is ineffective.
LIOTHYRONINE
The clinical condition in which a patient has excessive amounts of thyroid hormone (drug or supplement)
THYROTOXICOSIS
This is the state of having normal thyroid concentrations.
EUTHYROIDISM
This is the condition that results from too much thyroid hormone.
HYPERTHYROIDISM
This term describes the non-drug therapy used to remove the cancerous thyroid gland.
THYROIDECTOMY
This term means low white blood cell count.
LEUKOPENIA
This hormone is released by the hypothalamus to stimulate the pituitary gland which eventually stimulates the thyroid gland.
THYROTROPIN RELEASING HORMONE (TRH)
This hormone directly stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4.
THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH)
This drug disrupts the normal production of T3 and T4, but does not destroy the thyroid tumor in cats with hyperthyroidism.
METHIMAZOLE (FELIMAZOLE, TAPAZOLE)
This 1-injection hyperthyroidism treatment selectively destroys the thyroid tumor.
RADIOACTIVE IODINE (131-I)
This drug is used specifically to block the stimulation for tachycardia seen with hyperthyroidism.
PROPRANOLOL OR ATENOLOL
This treatment starves the thyroid tumor of iodine.
IODINE-LIMITED DIETS
This drug is used to decrease the systemic hypertension that occurs with hyperthyroidism.
AMLODIPINE
Cells that produce insulin in the pancreas.
BETA CELLS
Type of diabetes that requires the patient be treated with injectable insulin (What Type and what initials?)
TYPE I DIABETES = INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS (IDDM)
Type of diabetes that is caused by poor functioning or decreased numbers of insulin receptors.
TYPE II DIABETES = NON-INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS (NIDDM)
This term means “elevated blood glucose”.
HYPERGLYCEMIA
This term means “sugar in the urine”.
