Summary Introduction
Introduction: The endocrine system can be defined as a network of glands present in the body which produce the hormones. These are helpful in important body functions. Hormones led to the variations in cells by binding to receptors located on target cells. The number of receptors present on a target cell that can rise or drop in response to hormonal activity.

The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the activities of other glands. Discuss a disorder associated with either hypo or hypersecretion of a specific hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Include in your discussion the answer to the following: What effect will an increase or decrease in production have on the target organs?What signs and symptoms are associated with this condition and how is it treated?arrow_forwardMatch the following hormones with their actions: ACTH epinephrine testosterone ADH estradiol thyroxine aldosterone insulin cortisol parathyroid hormone 1. sympathomimetic; elevates heart rate, blood pressure 2. promotes growth and maintenance of male sex characteristics 3. stimulates water reabsorption by kidney tubules; decreases urine 4. increases metabolism in body cells 5. raises blood calcium 6. increases reabsorption of sodium by kidney tubules 7. stimulates secretion of hormones from adrenal cortex 8. increases blood sugar_ 9. helps transport glucose to cells and decreases blood sugar 10. develops and maintains female sex characteristics __ Give the meanings for the following conditions: 11. hyponatremia - 12. polydipsia - 13. glycosuria - 14. euthyroid- Give the meanings for the following terms related to diabetes mellitus: 15.

- What hormone also aids the stress response by promoting water retention and acting as a vasoconstrictor? View Available Hint(s)for Part E cortisol angiotensin II aldosterone ADH (vasopressin) Which of the following responses do not occur when blood glucose levels are increasing above the normal range, such as after eating a meal? Beta cells in the pancreatic islets secrete insulin into the bloodstream. Amino acid absorption and protein synthesis are increased. Body cells respond by increasing the rate of glucose uptake into target cells. Body cells will increase the conversion of glucose into glycogen. There is an increase in the breakdown of fat into fatty acids in adipose tissue.arrow_forwardDr. Constantine has a patient under her care who is suffering from a tumour on the pancreas, and therefore secreting unusually high levels of insulin. In an attempt to correct the problem, which of the following hormones should she prescribe to the patient? Highlight/ circle your choice. Explain. Cortisol Thyroxine GnRH Aldosterone Oxytocinarrow_forwardWhich of the following cause-and-effect relationships is correct? weight gain in Cushing’s syndrome is a result of the lipogenic action of cortisol. a person with adrenal insufficiency has difficulty excreting a water load in a normal period of time because of the actions of aldosterone on sodium and hence water reabsorption. anemia occurs in Addison’s disease because of the action of cortisol on GI iron absorption and on erythropoetin release. skin darkening in Addison’s disease individuals indicates that the site of the disorder is in the pituitary rather than the adrenal. synthetic glucocorticoids are useful in the treatment of arthritis because they stimulate bone growth. In humans, total adrenalectomy is fatal without replacement therapy whereas hypophysectomy is not. This is because after hypophysectomy: the adrenal cortex undergoes compensatory hypertrophy the adrenal catecholamines compensate for the metabolic actions of cortisol the secretion of aldosterone is not…arrow_forward
- The kidneys are important regulators of blood volume (and thus MAP) and the ionic composition and pH of plasma . The amount of water reabsorbed or lost is hormonally regulated. Both the amount of blood that is filtered (glomerular filtration rate) and the amount of water that is reabsorbed is determined by hormones binding with receptors. In order to understand why the level of any given hormone is elevated or low in the blood, it is necessary to think in terms of homeostasis loops for each hormone, and what the initial disturbance to homeostasis was. In other words “who started it”! What STEROID hormone is elevated by increased activation of the RAS pathway?arrow_forwardThe kidneys are important regulators of blood volume (and thus MAP) and the ionic composition and pH of plasma .

- Excess ACTH stimulation would result in which of the following effects? (select all that apply) - increased testosterone - increased epinephrine - increased cortisol - increased aldosteronearrow_forwardA major cause of hypersecretion of hormones is a dysfunctional gland. Very high levels of cortisol is found in the blood serum of Patient X. After an injection of dexamethasone (a potent, synthetic cortisol), Patient X's cortisol levels return to normal. Based on your reading, is this condition of Patient X primary hypersecretion, secondary hypersecretion, tertiary hypersecretion, or cannot be diagnosed? Group of answer choices secondary hypersecretion primary hypersecretion tertiary hypersecretion Cannot be diagnosedarrow_forwardDefine luteinizing hormone (LH)arrow_forward
