How does the endocrine system control its output of a hormone?

Answer 1

The pituitary is a part of the endocrine system. There are two parts: they are the anterior and the posterior pituitary.

Remember that pituitary problems can lead in something called SIADH, especially after brain surgeries, nurses must evaluate vital signs critically because something as little as a urine output can tell you if a person has SIADH which is syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, which means you are producing too much ADH, which means you are retaining fluid in your body. The other condition is called DI or Diabetes Insipidus which means you are not producing enough ADH, and you are losing a ton of water.

this is evident in patients after brain surgeries and is as easy as looking at a urine output and specific gravity and evaluating them.

If a patient's urine output is 300 ml in one hour and it is very dilute, you can guess that this is a problem with DI

If a patient's urine output is 10 ml in one hour and it is very concentrated, the patient is retaining water obviously which can lead to renal failure because the heart is working really hard to get blood there so it has nutrients but this can't happen because the heart is full of blood itself and can't pump as well leading to a decrease in cardiac output and possible heart failure and renal (kidney failure) can ensue.

Answer 2

The endocrine system uses feedback loops to regulate hormone levels in the body. When hormone levels are too high, the system reduces hormone production. Conversely, when levels are too low, the system increases hormone production. This feedback mechanism helps maintain hormone balance in the body.

Answer 3

The output of the hormones is controlled by what is called as negative feed back mechanism. You have extra control on the this cycle by hypothalamus usually.
