A group of glands that produce and secrete hormones into the bloodstream. Hormones act as chemical messengers, affecting various bodily functions.

Chemical messengers produced by glands in the endocrine system. They travel through the bloodstream to target organs and regulate their functions.

A gland located in the brain that secretes hormones that control other glands in the endocrine system. Also plays a role in growth, metabolism, and reproduction.

Two small glands located near the thyroid that regulate calcium levels in the blood.

Two glands located on top of the kidneys that secrete hormones involved in stress response, blood pressure regulation, and metabolism.

A condition where the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones which slows down metabolic processes.

The thyroid gland is not able to produce enough hormones despite normal levels of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone).

The thyroid gland produces enough hormones, but the body cannot use them effectively. The pituitary gland does not generate enough TSH to stimulate the thyroid.

A common symptom of Hypothyroidism is the slowing of the digestive system, which can lead to weight gain.

Weakness primarily in the muscles near the hips, which is a common symptom of Hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism can cause pain and tenderness in muscles.

Hypothyroidism can increase bone density, making bones denser and heavier.

Hypothyroidism can lead to inflammation and pain in the wrist, a common symptom.

Increased amount of fat around the organs in the abdomen.

A condition where the body's cells don't respond properly to insulin, making it difficult for glucose to enter cells.

The body's inability to produce sufficient amounts of hormones from the pituitary gland.

The lack of menstrual cycles, a common symptom in hypopituitarism due to gonadotropin deficiency.

A condition where the pituitary gland produces an excess of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), leading to increased water retention.

The thyroid gland secretes this hormone, which plays a key role in regulating the body's metabolism.

An autoimmune disease where the body attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to overproduce thyroid hormones.

A symptom of hyperthyroidism, where the eyes protrude from the sockets.

A condition that may occur in hyperthyroidism, characterized by pain and decreased range of motion in tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules.

Medication that inhibits the synthesis of thyroid hormones, used to treat hyperthyroidism.

The body's response to stress and heat, involving increased cortisol release to regulate blood pressure and cool the body down.

A condition where the adrenal glands can't produce enough cortisol to regulate body temperature, often caused by tumors or steroid withdrawal.

High levels of cortisol in the body, often caused by adrenal gland tumors or long-term steroid use.

Loss of muscle protein due to high cortisol levels, leading to various symptoms like stretch marks, thin skin, muscle weakness, and osteoporosis.

Potential side effects of corticosteroid treatment, including sleep disturbances, mood changes, gastrointestinal issues, and fluid retention.

A condition marked by low levels of parathyroid hormone, leading to hypocalcemia (low calcium in the blood), increased phosphate levels, tetany (muscle spasms), and decreased bone reabsorption.

Accidental removal of parathyroid glands during thyroid or neck surgery.

Symptoms of Hypoparathyroidism affecting the central nervous system, characterized by irritability, anxiety, and agitation.

Symptoms of Hypoparathyroidism affecting the musculoskeletal system, including increased osteoclast activity, tetany (muscle spasms), and spasms of respiratory muscles.

Symptoms of Hypoparathyroidism affecting the heart, often resulting in irregular heart rhythms (dysrhythmia).

A test to diagnose Hypoparathyroidism by measuring electrolyte levels (e.g., calcium, phosphate) and finding a decreased parathyroid hormone (PTH).

Emergency treatment for Hypoparathyroidism involving immediate intravenous calcium administration.

A condition where the endocrine system, which regulates growth and development, is not functioning properly. This can be due to either hyperfunction (overactivity) or hypofunction (underactivity) of the endocrine glands.

Long-term management of Hypoparathyroidism involving supplementation with vitamin D and medications to regulate calcium levels.

The outer layer of the adrenal glands, responsible for producing hormones like aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens.

The body's response to stress involving the nervous system and the endocrine system working together.

The inner layer of the adrenal glands, responsible for producing epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine.

Hormones released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. They include epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.

A crucial steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex that plays a significant role in stress response. It helps regulate glucose levels, protein synthesis, and inflammation.

A section of the pituitary gland responsible for secreting various important hormones, including ACTH, TSH, LH, FSH, HGH, and prolactin. These hormones regulate various bodily functions.

A section of the pituitary gland responsible for storing and releasing ADH and oxytocin.

Abnormal growths in the pituitary gland. These tumors can cause headaches, vision problems, and hormone imbalances.

A condition caused by the overproduction of HGH, usually due to a benign tumor. It leads to excessive growth, particularly in the hands, feet, and face.

A condition caused by the overproduction of ACTH, often due to a tumor or exposure to glucocorticoids. It leads to a variety of symptoms including muscle wasting, obesity, and high blood glucose.

An overproduction of prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland. This can lead to various symptoms including amenorrhea, gynecomastia, lactation, decreased libido, and impotence.

A type of HYPOpituitarism involving a deficiency in HGH, leading to decreased growth, delayed puberty, and other issues.

A type of HYPOpituitarism involving deficiencies in LH and FSH, leading to sexual and reproductive problems.
