Metabolic And Endocrine Flashcards
controls the release of growth hormone, adreno-
corticotropic hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, andprolactin.
Anterior pituitary gland
Controls release of antidiuretic hormone, and oxytocin
Posterior pituitary gland
controls the release of mineral corticosteroids, glucocorticoids, adrenal androgens, and androstenedione.
Adrenal cortex
Epinephrine and norepinephrine released by
Adrenal medulla
Controls release of vitamin D
Kidneys
Addison’s disease
Not enough cortisol production in the adrenal medullary
Cushing’s syndrome
Too much cortisol
Type 1 diabetes mellitus
Pancreas dont produce enough insulin
Diabetes insipidus
Dysfunctional production of ADH hormone
Type 2 DM
Combo or resistance to insulin action + decreased secretion
Which type of diabetes is autoimmune?
Type 1
Which type of diabetes is type 2? (Diagnosis)
Genetics
Lifestyle
Infection
Graves’ disease
Hyperthyroidism
Excess amounts of glucose in the blood
Hyperglycemia/diabetic ketoacidosis
Too much serum calcium
Little serum phosphate
Hyperprathyroidism
Not enough PTH (parathyroid hormone)
Hypoparathyroidism
Lysosomal storage disorder.Absence or deficiency of
hexosaminidase A, which
leads to an accumulation of
GM2 in brain
Tay-Sachs disease
Hepato-lenticular
degeneration. Defect in
body’s ability to metabolize
copper. Copper accumulatesover time within brain, liver, cornea, kidney, more
Wilson’s disease
Hypotension, weight loss, weakness, altered pigmentation
Addison’s disease
Round face, thin limbs, weakness, growth failure, persistent hyperglycemia,buffalo hump, truncal obesity, HTN
Cushing’s syndrome
Polydipsia, excess volume of severely diluted urine
Diabetes insipidus
Polydipsia, polyuria, increased hunger, hyperglycemia
Diabetes mellitus
Enlarged thyroid (goiter), heat intolerance, nervousness, weight loss, tremor,palpitations, HTN
Graves’ disease
Aka hyperthyroidism
Thirst, polyuria, nausea, weakness, dry mouth, hot, dry skin, fruity odor to breath,lethargy/confusion/coma, deep/rapid respirations
Hyperglycemia/ diabetic ketoacidosis
Kidney stones, depression, memory loss, muscle wasting, bone deformity,myopathy
Hyperparathyroidism
Gigantism/acromegaly, abnormal lactation, amenorrhea, infertility, impotence
Hyperpituitarism
Pallor, perspiration, increased heart rate, palpitations, irritability/nervousness,
weakness, hunger, confusion, nightmares, unexplained sweating and/or headache causing sleep disturbances
Hypoglycemia
Hypocalcemia, seizures, short stature, tetany, muscle spasms, muscle pain,cramps, cognitive deficits
Hypoparathyroidism
Short stature, delayed growth & puberty, sexual & reproductive disorders,diabetes insipidus
Hypopituitarism
Renal failure, starvation, malaise, fatigue, hyperventilation, hyperkalemia,headache, cardiac arrhythmias
Metabolic acidosis
Hypoventilation, hypokalemia, antacid/diuretic use, muscle twitching, muscle cramping, paresthesia
Metabolic alkalosis
First feature is missing developmental milestones
Tay-Sachs disease
Inability to metabolize copper, ataxia, choreoathetoid movements, hepatitis,cirrhosis of liver
Wilson’s disease
