Other Systems Part Five Flashcards
what does somatostatin do
decreases secretion and absorption of GI tract
what is bladder training
taking patient to bathroom at regular intervals
what is overflow incontinence
bladder continuously leaks secondary to urinary retention
BMI for overweight, obesity, morbid obesity RESPECTIVELY
overweight: BMI 25-30
obesity: over 30
morbid obesity: over 40
what does glucagon do
raises glucose levels
criteria for metabolic syndrome
- men waist over 40, female over 35
- triglycerides 150 or higher
- low HDL cholesterol (men less than 40, women less than 50)
- BP 135/85
- fasting blood glucose level 100 mg or higher
a round moon face would indicate
Cushing’s Syndrome
what hormones does the anterior pituitary gland release
growth hormone
adrenocorticotropic hormone
follicle-stimulating hormone
luteinizing hormone
prolactin
how to interpret skin calipers for skin fold test
greater than 1 inch = excess body fat
what is a perineometer
tests pelvic floor muscle strength
what hormones does the posterior pituitary gland release
antidiuretic hormone
oxytocin
what is Hashimoto’s disease
chronic autoimmune thyroiditis
an increased bronze pigmentation of the skin could be indicative of
Addison’s Disease
what is Addison’s Disease
primary adrenal insufficiency
what is Cushing’s Syndrome
metabolic disorder resulting from chronic and excessive production of cortisol by the adrenal cortex
type 1 diabetes is prone to…
ketoacidosis
what is mononeuropathy
focal nerve damage resulting from vasculitis with ischemia and infarction
type 2 diabetes: prone to ketoacidosis?
no
secondary adrenal insufficiency can result from
prolonged steroid therapy
purpose of selective dorsal rhizotomy
eliminate spasticity
major organs that control the majority of bodily glands
hypothalamus
pituitary gland
Kegel and pelvic floor muscle strengthening is good for what kind of incontinence
stress
what is the most common problem for patients with diabetes who exercise
hypoglycemia
what does amylin do
modulates rate of nutrient delivery
supresses release of glucagon
what is dyslipidemia
accelerated atherosclerosis
what hormones are decreased with Addison’s Disease
cortisol and aldosterone
for diabetes, what blood sugar levels would prevent exercise
under 70
over 300 (fasting)
preferred insulin injection site
abdominals
besides GB, what other disease has stocking and glove distribution
diabetes
radioactive iodine may be prescribed for…
hyperthyroidism
what organ controls release of pituitary hormones
hypothalamus
how are islet cells affected with diabetes 1
decrease in size and number
type 1 diabetes AKA
insulin-dependent
catheterization is associated with what kind of urinary incontinence
overflow
how would diabetic neuropathy be described
symmetrical numbness and tingling of the hands and feet (stocking and glove distribution)
what is glucagon released by
alpha cells
what type of diabetes is prone to ketoacidosis
type 1
for hyperthyroidism, what hormone is secreted more
thyroxine
what are the pituitary hormones
corticotropin-releasing hormone
thyrotropin-releasing hormone
growth-hormone releasing hormone
somatostatin
what type of diabetes has the presence of ketone bodies in the urine
type 1
what controls the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine
adrenal medulla
what do pancreatic islet cells control the release of
insulin
glucagons
somatostatin
the adrenal cortex controls the release of…
corticosteroids
glucocorticoids
what is metabolic syndrome
cluster of risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes
the kidney controls the release of
1, 25-dihydroxy-vitamin D
what causes functional incontinence
impaired cognition (Alzheimer’s)
impaired physical conditioning (stroke)
environmental barriers
what is a selective dorsal rhizotomy
procedure for people with CP that involves cutting LE sensory nerve rootlets
what is functional incontinence
leakage associated with inability or unwillingness to toilet
insulin is secreted by
beta cells
what causes overflow incontinence
anatomical obstruction
acontractile bladder
neurogenic bladder
most common cause of Cushing’s Syndrome
pituitary tumor with increased secretion of ACTH
