A system of glands that produce hormones for bodily functions.

Chemical messengers that regulate various processes in the body.

The process of maintaining stable internal conditions in the body.

The master gland that regulates hormone production in other glands.

A hormone produced by the pineal gland that regulates sleep-wake cycles.

Illness, stress, and medications can disrupt hormone balance.

Requires exercise, proper diet, and regular healthcare check-ups.

Glands can produce too much or too little of hormones, leading to health issues.

A hormone that regulates blood sugar levels in the body.

The process by which insulin maintains blood sugar levels within a narrow range.

A stored form of glucose in the liver and muscle cells.

A condition of high blood sugar levels, often above 126 mg/dL fasting.

An autoimmune disease leading to inadequate insulin production.

A condition characterized by insulin resistance and high blood sugar.

A medical condition marked by low blood sugar levels.

Includes inadequate insulin, unhealthy eating, lack of exercise, stress, and illness.

Hypoglycemia may cause shakiness, dizziness, confusion, sweating, and hunger.

Hyperglycemia symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue.

Treatment involves consuming fast-acting carbohydrates, like glucose tablets or fruit juice.

A condition where the thyroid gland produces excess hormones, leading to an overactive metabolism.

The thyroid regulates metabolism, body temperature, and heart rate through hormone release.

The primary hormones produced are triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).

Symptoms include rapid heartbeat, weight loss, and increased appetite.

Thyroid issues can disrupt balance and affect body functions, leading to various health problems.

Overproduction of parathyroid hormone due to another condition lowering blood calcium.

Insufficient calcium intake or absorption, leading to low blood calcium levels.

Lack of vitamin D affecting calcium absorption and blood levels.

Long-term decline in kidney function affecting vitamin D conversion and calcium levels.

Condition where parathyroid glands enlarge and release too much hormone independently.

Staying hydrated supports kidney function and reduces kidney stone risk.

Smoking contributes to health problems, including bone loss and fractures.

Efforts to maintain good health to reduce hyperparathyroidism risk.

A condition where sodium levels are low due to excess body water.

A condition characterized by high sodium levels in the blood.

The production of abnormally large volumes of dilute urine.

Excessive thirst that is often due to dehydration.

Swelling of the brain due to excess fluid accumulation.

Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone secretion, causing water retention.

A condition causing excessive thirst and urination due to low ADH levels.

Safety measures taken to prevent injuries during seizures.

A rare tumor in the adrenal glands causing hormone imbalance.

Glands that produce hormones, located on top of kidneys.

Include high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and anxiety.

Most common symptom of pheochromocytoma, often severe.

Mutations causing uncontrolled cell growth in adrenal glands.

Specialized cells in adrenal glands that produce adrenaline.

Conditions linked to pheochromocytoma, like MEN type 2.

Rapid heart rate, sweating, tremors, and anxiety occur.
