Thyroid Hormone
-

-
The adrenal cortex produces what hormones?
cortisol, aldosterone, sex hormones
-
The adrenal medulla produces what hormones?

-
The selected effects of growth hormone are
increase protein synthesis; major hormone for bone growth in children
-
selected effects of TSH is
stimulates release of thyroid hormone
-
selected effects of adrenocorticotropic (ACTH) hormone is
stimulates production and release of glucocorticoids
-
selected effects of thyroid hormone is
increases metabolic rate; essential for growth and nervous system development in children
-
selected effects of insulin is
removes glucose from blood by helping cells to import it; promotes anabolic chemical reactions in cells
-
selected effects of glucagon
increases glucose in blood by promoting break-down of glycogen and synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrates
-
selected targets of glucocoticoids/corticoids: cortisol is an example
releases fuel molecules, surpresses inflammation in response to stress; used therapeutically for surpressing inflammation and immunity in autoimmune disorders, asthma, and organ transplant recipients
-
selected targets for aldotersterone
increases reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium resulting in retention of sodium in the blood
-
selected targets of epinephrine and norepinephrine
prolongs fight or flight response; elevates heart rate and blood pressure
-
Thickening of facial bones including widening and elongation of the face, enlargement of the bones in the hands and feet
acromegaly
-
lengthening of the bones resulting in tall stature; enlargement of internal organs; acromegaly results in GH secretion continues into adulthood
gigantism
-
decreased bone growth resulting in short stature but with limbs proproportional to the trunk
pituitary dwarfism
-
exopthalamus, tremors, irritability and nervousness, weightloss intolerance to heat with intense sweating, insomnia, rapid heart rate
graves disease
-
more common in women, myxedema, weight gain, enlargement of thyroid gland, fatigue
adult hypothyroidism
-
stunted growth; mental retardation, facial and postural abnormalities
congenital hypothyroidism (cretinism)
-
facial swelling: (buffalo hump) - interscapular fat accumulation; abnormal fat accumulation, bright pink cheeks, mood swings, loss of calcium from bones, loss of muscle mass
cushing syndrome
