How does the permissive hormones thyroid hormone and epinephrine work together?
Wikipedia: "In biology, permissiveness is a certain relationship between hormones and the target cell. It can be applied to describe situations in which the presence of one hormone, at a certain concentration, is required in order to allow a second hormone to fully affect the target cell. For example, thyroid hormone increases the number of receptors available for epinephrine at the latter's target cell, thereby increasing epinephrine's effect at that cell. Without the thyroid hormone, epinephrine would have only a weak effect"
Why you need thyroid hormone?
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the base of the neck just below the Adam's apple. It is responsible for producing hormones that regulate our metabolism, as well as other body organs.When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, and thyroxine which is commonly referred to as T4. These thyroid hormones are important because they regulate the metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body.When the body produces too much or too little thyroid hormones, symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism will occur.Related Article: What Is a Thyroid?
The function of a thyroid gland?
The thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormone. The hormone regulates metabolism. If u secrete too much thyroid hormone, it can lead to obesity-related problems such as hypertension and heat-intolerance. If u secrete too little thyroid hormone, it can lead to tremendous weight-loss and other underweight problems. Luckily, our hypothalamus and pituitary gland are there to regulate this hormone.
What is too much or too little production of thyroid hormones?
Too much production of thyroid hormones is referred to as hyperthyroidism. It can result in symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and irritability. Too little production of thyroid hormones is known as hypothyroidism. It can cause symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, and depression.
Why every body have different body metabolism?
One of the reasons is because of a difference in the release of thyroid hormone. The thyroid is an endocrine gland that regulates the body's metabolic rate. If it increases the release of thyroid hormone, it increases the body's metabolic rate and vice versa. There are disorders where the thyroid releases too much or too little thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism (too little) results in a metabolism that is too slow. Hyperthyroidism (too much) results in a metabolism that is very fast.
A patient is diagnosed with thyroid cancer later had her thyroid gland removed explain why this person was prescibed calcium and hormone supplementation?
Because they Thyroid makes its own natural hormones. When it was removed the body needed a new place for the hormones to come from.Actually, the thyroid itself has little to do with calcium. so the answer is only partially correct. Embedded in the thyroid tissue there are 4 little glands, the parathyroids. These produce a hormone called parathyroid hormone or PTH. PTH stimulates calcium absorption in the instestine, calcium reabsorption in the kidneys and liberates calcium from the bones. Hence the need for the calcium supplement.The thyroid gland produces many hormones that are necessary for normal body function. When the gland is removed (a thyroidectomy) the deficiency of these hormones results in hypothyroidism without external treatment - hormone therapy. Calcium (and vitamin D) are necessary to prevent hypocalcemia secondary to hypoparathyroidism, that is, a low level of of calcium in the blood (very serious) due to insuffient parathyroid hormone levels (parathyroid hormone functions to increase blood levels of calcium).
Diabetes is a disorder in which the pancreas produces too little or no?
your body dosent make enough insilin.
What hormone causes goiters?
Goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, located in the neck. Simple goiter is caused by too little iodine which is available in the hormone thyroxine. Toxic goiter, on the other hand, is caused by exactly the opposite condition, overproduction of thyroxine. Oddly enough, both can often be treated by the administration of iodine in one form or another.
