Study Notes
- The endocrine system is responsible for regulating metabolism, growth, and development.
- The pituitary gland, often called the "master gland," controls other glands and influences growth, metabolism, and regeneration.
- The pituitary gland secretes hormones essential for calcium absorption.
- The parathyroid gland aids in protein, fat, and carbohydrate digestion and produces insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels.
- The pituitary gland is influenced by the hypothalamus, and its lobes are the anterior (adrenohypophysis) and posterior (neurohypophysis).
- The thymus gland, located above the kidneys, secretes thymosin and thymopoietin, which aid in immunity.
- The endocrine system helps maintain homeostasis using feedback mechanisms.
- The hypothalamus regulates hunger, thirst, sleep, wakefulness, and most involuntary mechanisms.
- The thyroid gland secretes hormones that regulate energy and metabolism.
- The testes produce testosterone, and the sex glands in females are ovaries.
- The adrenal gland consists of two parts: the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla.
- The adrenal cortex secretes corticosteroids, which include glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and small amounts of androgenic sex hormones.
- A client diagnosed with parathormone deficiency requires skeletal system care.
- Thymosin and thymopoietin, secreted by the thymus gland, aid in immunity.
- ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is secreted by the posterior pituitary and increases water reabsorption in the kidney and blood pressure.
- Oxytocin is secreted by the posterior pituitary and increases uterine contraction and releases breast milk after childbirth.
- Parathyroid hormone increases serum calcium levels.
- The pituitary gland regulates the release of hormones through negative feedback mechanisms.
- Parathyroid hormone is produced by the parathyroid gland to maintain the balance between calcium and phosphorus in the body.
- Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland to function.
- Exophthalmos is characterized by abnormal bulging or protrusion of the eyes.
- Thyroid hormone regulates the metabolic rate and influences the growth and development of the body.
- Cushing syndrome is a disorder characterized by an excess of free circulating cortisol from the adrenal cortex.
- A complete blood count and chemistry profile can determine a client's general status and rule out disorders.
- The hypothalamus fine-tunes and regulates the release of hormones through negative feedback mechanisms.
- The pituitary gland was originally identified as the master gland.
- Growth hormone (GH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
- The hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, and corticotropin-releasing hormone.
- Somatostatin is secreted by the hypothalamus to help regulate growth in the body.
- Calcitonin inhibits the release of calcium from bone into the extracellular fluid.
