Study Notes
Posterior Pituitary Gland
- Deficiency of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) causes Diabetes Insipidus
- Symptoms of Diabetes Insipidus: Increased thirst (polydipsia), frequent urination (polyuria), and dehydration
- Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus: Increased thirst (polydipsia), frequent urination (polyuria), increased hunger (polyphagia)
- Symptoms of Hypoglycemia: Sweating, palpitations, confusion, fatigue
- Posterior Pituitary Gland releases Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) and Oxytocin
Thyroid
- Hypothyroidism lab results include increased serum Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and decreased Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4)
Hormonal Changes
- Testosterone is catalyzed to 5-hydroxytestosterone by 5-alpha reductase
Diabetes Mellitus
- Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus: Increased thirst (polydipsia), frequent urination (polyuria), increased hunger (polyphagia)
Hypoglycemia
- Symptoms of Hypoglycemia: Sweating, palpitations, confusion, fatigue
Hyperthyroidism
- Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism: Weight loss, sensitivity to heat, tachycardia, diarrhea
Hypothyroidism
- Symptoms of Hypothyroidism: Weight gain, edema, sensitivity to cold, constipation, hypertension, bradycardia
Cushing Syndrome
- Cushing Syndrome is a result of hypercorticosteroidism
- Symptoms of Cushing's Syndrome: Edema, weight gain, moon face, puffy face, buffalo hump
Addison Disease
- Addison disease is caused by hypocorticosteroids
Menstrual Cycle
- Ovulation occurs on day 14 of the menstrual cycle, 14 days before the first day of menstruation (day 1).
- The length of the menstrual cycle does not affect when ovulation occurs.
- Menstruation (days 1-4): The endometrium is shed due to the abrupt decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels.
- Pregnancy: Characterized by consistently elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone, which maintain the endometrium for the fetus and suppress ovarian follicular function by inhibiting Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
Pineal Gland
- The pineal gland shrinks after puberty and undergoes calcification with age.
- Melatonin levels decrease in individuals over 60 years old.
Other Important Details
- Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) hormone keeps the corpus luteum after fertilization and pregnancy.
- HCG is produced by the placenta and keeps the corpus luteum functional for the first trimester of pregnancy.
- The corpus luteum produces the estrogen and progesterone needed to maintain the pregnancy until the placenta can take over.
