Thyroid

INTRODUCTION: My topic of choice is thyroid cancer. Recently my mother was diagnosed with this cancer so doing research can help me better understand what it is, what causes its occurrence, and what lifestyle changes it will bring. Having taken anatomy & physiology I know the importance of this gland. This is a gland that has functions to many other organs including the heart, brain, liver, and more. Going into the DMS program I can learn to identify spots on the thyroid and use the knowledge of this cancer

Thyroid disease is not a very common disease that happens in the lower neck. What is it that is in the lower neck? Well, your thyroid is a butterfly gland that is as I said, in your lower neck right above your collarbones.Thyroid disease is sometimes caused by stress or, just the fact that it runs in the family. Most of the time, thyroid disease is caused by a certain hormone being overproduced or not produced enough. Did you know that your thyroid can get cancer! Your thyroid is made out of similar

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) Stimulate the secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland by binding to a receptor on the surface of the cells of the thyroid (G protein -coupled receptors).TSH is stimulated by TRH hormone of the hypothalamus and is inhibited by Somatostatin hormone, as well as by thyroid hormones in a negative feedback loop. Prolactine Is a peptide hormone which causes synthesis in milk after birth, while it assists in preparation of breasts for milk production after birth

of the top diseases that goes unnoticed. Not many people know the affects the thyroid gland can have on the body, and how the thyroid gland has a part in regulating the many different systems. This paper will explain the anatomy and physiology of the thyroid gland, the description, sign and symptoms, causes and risk factors, the diagnosis of the disease, and the possible treatment plans for the disease. The thyroid gland, which is the largest endocrine gland in adults, is a butterfly-shaped gland

Thyroid Disorder27 Pathogenesis: both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can lead to amenorrhea, though most commonly it present as primary amenorrhea in patients with hypothyroidism. Low levels of thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, stimulate the hypothalamus to produce thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which stimulates both thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and prolactin production in the anterior pituitary. High prolactin levels inhibit GnRH production in the hypothalamus, which is needed for LH and

pathology I found for this assignment is “Tumor of the Thyroid - Papillary Carcinoma” is the most common type of thyroid cancer, comprising approximately 80% of all primary thyroid malignancies. Benign encapsulated tumor with evidence or follicular epithelial cell differentiation showing growth pattern and cytomorphology different from the surrounding thyroid parenchyma, but lacking features of thyroid papillary carcinoma. Papillary thyroid cancer characteristics: Unencapsulated tumor nodule with

Hyperthyroid Disease Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland, a butterfly shape in front of the neck, overproduces thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland is abundant with blood vessels and it secretes thyroid hormone (Kumar 22). Thyroid hormone influences many different internal body functions such as, metabolism, growth, development, turning food into energy, and increases body temperature. Thyroid hormone is very important for brain development and normal growth during infancy; furthermore,

radioactive iodine uptake is the measure of the amount of iodine avidity of the thyroid gland (Cooper, 2003).Physician use RAI to find the functional condition of the thyroid nodules (Panneerselvan et al., 2013).RAIU is measured at different time intervals mostly 24 hour after the administration of the isotope, the RAIU is inversely proportional to the concentration of iodine in the plasma and directly proportional to the thyroid functional state (Little, 2006). Radioactive iodine scans are also useful

PPL 7. Thyroid function Thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), are implicated in numerous process, including growth and development of muscle, bones and the central nervous system (CNS); metabolism by increasing basal metabolic rate, calorigenesis and appetite; and have cardiovascular effects due to they make the heart beats faster and harder. Deregulation of the correct function of the thyroid can lead to different pathological process such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism

Abstract: The butterfly-shaped gland in your neck is known as the thyroid gland. This particular gland is responsible for releasing hormones that regulates metabolism in the body. Cells from all over the body rely on the thyroid to regulate their metabolism as well. Dysfunctions if the thyroid gland can cause many problems to the body. Many diseases can arise from overproduction or underproduction of the main thyroid hormones, including cancer. However, modern day research and medicine has proven
