Functions of the endocrine system - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-
•regulation of digestion
• the usage and storage of nutrients
•growth and development
•electrolyte and water metabolism •reproductive functions
•metabolism
endocrine system - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-produced by glands:
• "gland"- ductless glands of the system that secrete their
products, hormones, directly into the blood.
exocrine system - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-glands that produce
and secrete substances onto an epithelial surface by way
of a duct
negative feedback loop - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-A feedback
loop in which a system responds to a change by returning
to its original state, or by decreasing the rate at which the
change is occurring.
,(strives to maintain homeostasis) sweating
positive feedback loop - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Causes a
system to change further in the same direction.
(something happening but body isn't worried about
maintaining homeostasis) ex. breastfeeding-not trying to
reach homeostasis
endocrine actions - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Released into
circulation to act on a target organ
paracrine actions - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-hormones acting
locally on cells other than those that produced the
hormone
autocrine actions - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-hormones exerting
action on the cells from which they were produced
neuroendocrine actions - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-receive
messages from the nervous system and respond by
making and releasing hormones (neuroendocrine-brain)
Functions of Anterior Pituitary Hormones -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-•Body growth and metabolism (GH) →
growth hormone
• Function of the thyroid (TSH) → thyroid stimulating
hormone
, •Glucocorticoid hormone levels (ACTH) → adrenal cortisol
thyroid hormone
• Function of the gonads (FSH and LH)
Breast growth and milk producion (prolactin) → positive
feedback
manifestations of hypothyroidism - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-
•mental and physical sluggishness •myxedema (swelling
of skin /tissves)
• Somnolence
• Decreased cardiac output, bradycardia
•Constipation
• decreased appetite
• hypoventilation
- cold intolerance
course dry skin and hair
• weight gain (metabolism slow)
manifestations of hyperthyroidism - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-•
Thyroid storm • wakefulness
• tachycardia and palpitations
•Dyspnea (increased oxygen consumption)
- thin and skin and hair
• restessness, irritability, anxiety
• increased cardiac output
• Diarrhea, increased appetite
Heat intolerance, increased sweating
- weight loss (metabolism fast)
