Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanism by which endocrine disorders results in the following physical characteristics: obesity in a man with hypothyroidism, small stature, and gigantism in people with pituitary disorders, facial hair on a woman with adrenal tumor, protrusion of the eye in a person with Grave’s disease.
Introduction:
The endocrine system in the human body is associated with the formation of several chemo-messengers that are designated as hormones. They are associated with the regulation of various processes that take place within the body. The altered level of these chemo-messengers can cause several symptoms and diseases.

Explain how endocrine disorders produced the physical characteristics described: (a) obesity in a man with hypothyroidism, (b) small stature and gigantism in people with pituitary disorders, (c) facial hair on a woman with an adrenal tumor, and (d) protrusion of the eyes in a person with Graves’ disease.
a) How does the body's hormonal response to short-term stress differ from the
body's hormonal response to long-term stress? In your answer, provide the names of
the hormones released, the glands from which they are released, and the effects on
the body.
b) Provide 2 reasons (as discussed in class) why long-term stress is harmful to our
physical health.
A mother calls for an appointment for her 12-year-old son Daniel. He eats enormous amounts of food and seems to be thirsty all the time. His mother notes that Daniel seems to be going to the bathroom more frequently, and his soccer coach has relayed to her his concern that the boy is tired all the time.
1. What endocrine dysfunction is suggested by these signs and symptoms?
2. If Daniel does have the indicated dysfunction, what are the likely treatments?
3. What might be the prognosis for Daniel?
