- prolactin from anterior pituitary causes growth/development of breasts/milk after a child is born
- giantism happens before puberty
- acromegaly happens after puberty
- syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion is called SIADH
- hyponatremia (SIADH): leads to CNS problems such as seizures, coma, confusion
- diabetes insipidus (lack of ADH)
- parathyroid glands are on posterior of thyroid gland
- exophthalmos is bulging eyes with swelling (hyperthyroidism)
- thyrotoxic crisis also called thyroid storm (hyperthyroidism) can be fatal due to uncontrolled fever
- myxedema (hypothryoidism) is edema around face (eyes and cheek bones)
- elevated TSH happens in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
- Hoshimoto thyroiditis (hypothyroidism) has goiter just like hyperthyroidism
- myxedema coma (hypothyroidism) can be fatal
- glucocorticoids (cortisol): direct effect on glucose
- adrenal disorders of the adrenal cortex
- hyperfunction (Cushing Syndrome)
- increase ACTH, cortisol, glucose
- adrenal disorders of adrenal cortex
- Hypofunction (Addison's Disease)
- decreased cortisol, glucose, energy, aldosterone, hypovolemic and sodium
- increased potassium AND ACTH (same has hyperfunctoin/Cushings)
- Adrenal disorders of the adrenal medulla
- catecholamines
- greatest effect on heart and blood vessels
- Cushings syndrome
- increase ACTH, increase cortisol (therefore glucose)
- Addison's disease
- decreased adrenal function, but still increase ACTH
- decrease cortisol (therefore, glucose)
- Pheochromocytoma (too much catecholamines; adrenal medulla)
- Myxedema coma
- extreme hypothyroidism
- can be fatal
- Hashimoto thyroiditis
- hypothyroidism that is autoimmune
- has goiter like hyperthyroidism
- grave's disease
- hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis)
- exophthalmos, goiter
- thyrotoxic crisis (thyroid storm)
- extreme hyperthyroidism
- can be fatal
- SIADH
- increased ADH (pituitary)
- leads to CNS problems due to hyponatremia
- diabetes insipidus
- lack of ADH
- polyuria, polydipsia, hypernatremia
