PRN1178 CCC2 Final Exam
1. Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
Weight loss
Nervousness
Insomnia
2. Endocrine System
Regulation of metabolism
Growth and development
Sexual functions
Reproduction functions
Hormones that affect the body
3. Effects of Aging on the Endocrine System
Pituitary gland smaller
Thyroid lumpy or nodular
Hormones decrease or increase
Blood glucose levels rise
Thyroid hormone levels decrease
4. Adrenal Disorders
Cushing's Syndrome (adrenal excess)
Addison's Disease (insufficiency, need to add everything is low)
5. Addison's Disease
Hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, weakness, orthostatic hypotension, cardiac dysrhythmias
, Decreased function of the adrenal cortex
6. Cushing's Disease
Facial swelling (moon face), large abdomen with thin extremities, buffalo hump, often
glucose intolerance.
Excess secretion of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)
7. Beta Cells
The beta cells are responsible for producing and secreting insulin the pancreas, known
as beta cells. TYPE 1
8. Alpha Cells
The alpha cells release glucagon, which stimulates the liver to change glycogen to
glucose. Alpha cells are endocrine cells in the pancreas that secrete glucagon, a
hormone that increases blood glucose levels. TYPE 2
9. Symptoms of Hypothyroidism
weight gain, fatigue, slow heart rate and respiration rate, cold intolerance
TRT- Levothyroxine is a medicine used to treat an underactive thyroid gland
(hypothyroidism). The thyroid gland makes thyroid hormones which help to control
energy levels and growth
10. Goiter
Enlarged thyroid gland, lower iodine.
Assess airway.
, 11. Nutrition causes obstruction of colostomy
Nuts
Apple peel (digestion)
Celery
Dried Fruits
Shrimp
12. Hormones of the Pituitary Gland
Growth hormone (tissue growth)
Prolactin (PRL, breast)
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH. kidney water)
Thyroid TSH, thyroid hormones)
Oxytocin (lactation, uterine contraction)
13. Hypoglycemia Symptoms
hunger, fatigue, weakness, sweating, headache, dizziness, low bp, cold or clammy skin,
tachycardia, tremors, sweating
14. Target Cells
Cells that are affected by hormones
If a hormone is low, the gland associated with the hormone releases more hormone into
the bloodstream.
Once it is regulated the production of the hormone is stopped. This is called negative
feedback
15. Pituitary Gland
Growth hormone (Gigantism)
Thyroid-Stimulating hormone
