Endocrine System

The only category that seems to fit is the very broad "disorders of the adrenal glands" which has the ICD code 255. Cushing's syndrome has the ICD code 255.0, if this is included in the diagnosis also.

It pours more adrenalin into your bloodstream. When we take off running - say if a very big, very vicious dog is chasing us - we tend to be able to run like an Olympian. That is the "shot of adrenalin".

Beta blockers are very effective in minimizing some of the annoying symptoms of hyperthyroid dysfunction, however, it does not treat the hyperthyroid condition itself.

Very effective! Propranolol is usually prescribed along with a anti-thyroid drug and after 7 days of around 30mg a day the beta blocker will counter act the overactive behaviour of the thyroid thus stablizing your body and after 3/4 weeks the patient should feel "normal" once again, however the drug must not be stopped immediately, this will enduse symptoms to return even worse or even cause heart failure. Beta Blockers must be gradually reduceds over a period of weeks. The Beta Blocker should be stopped once the anti-thyroid drug reduces the thryroid action to a normal rate.

The adrenal glands are located right above the kidneys they look like a small mucus covered bag of marbles. The outer rim of the adrenal gland is called the capsule behind the capsule there is a thick tissue called the adrenal cortex and finally the center is called the adrenal medulla.

i have a grandson with pituitary gland problems. as i understand it (and I am an RN). The pituitary is the mother gland of them all and controls everything from growth to breathing, heart rate, temperature regulation, sugar use, (diabetes,). the main hormone as i understand it that regulates growth and development is the GHT or growth hormone, also IGF this hormone actually does regulate growth, sexual organ development, etc. the good news is. most of these can be given and normal devolpment obtained. the cortisol level is what we are dealing with the most right now, and without it the baby has no energy, little temperature regulation, can't fight infection, actually almost died from an ear infection before we knew he wasn't secreting the hormones he needed. He is doing better now he is taking an oral med called hydrocorisone. his growth factor is being checked now and if it is low he has to have shots everyday just like diabetes.

A thyroid abnormality (either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) would affect your mood, but if your thyroid gland is working properly, it does not affect your mood, which have various psychological and physiological influences.

No! Seriously, you should ask a doctor this question.

Purely endocrine glands are anterior pituitary, thyroid, and parathyroid, adrenal glands and pineal.

Pancreas, and Gonads have both endocrine and exocrine functions. There are many other hormone secreting peudoendocrine glands or organs, such as liver, stomach, placenta etc.

A growth hormone is a chemical that has effects on plant growth

Thyrotoxicosis: A condition resulting from excessive concentrations of thyroid hormones in the body, as in hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism: the overproduction of thyroid hormones by an overactive thyroid.

The adrenal glands in a pig produces hormones for water balance, stress hormones, and androgens. They also secrete fight or flight hormones.

Glands that secrete their contents into the blood stream. Examples Adrenal Gland and Thyroid Gland. Some glands are both duct/ductless. The Pancreas secretes

several hormones into the blood stream and also secretes enzymes via ducts into the small bowel.

It produces hormone parathomon. It increases the Ca level and decrease the phosphate level of bllod

The pituatry gland.

Shivering uses muscles, which generate heat, which in turn increase the metabolic rate.

Shivering increases oxygen consumption by up to 5-6 times the normal rate.

In the case of a Type 2 Diabetes (Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus - NIDDM) or Prediabetes (Impaired Glucose Tolerance - IGT), the pancreas produces little insulin or the body is unable to use the insulin that is present and therefore the cells cannot use these glucose in the body. Excessive glucose then starts to build up in the bloodstream and the kidney cannot filter all these extra glucose.

Two things will then happen:

Your body will send signals to your brain to drink more water to dilute the blood glucose / sugar levels back to normal.

The "extra" glucose escapes to the urine and thickens it and at the same time draws more water to help it flow through the kidneys. The extra water you drank eventually fills your bladder.

These will cause you to urinate more often and in larger amounts. In the end your body gets dehydrated and makes you feel extremely thirsty.

The cycle continues as your blood glucose / sugar levels are still high, your body will keep thinking you need more water and as you drink more water, you urinate more……a vicious cycle.

A 4.9 for a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test means that you are on the hypothyroid end. While a normal TSH varies from person to person, the range that is typically followed by most doctors is .3 to 4.5. A .3 is on the hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) end and a 4.5 is on the hypothyroid (under active thyroid) end of the spectrum. Talk with your doctor about any questions or concerns about the results, as well as any symptoms you are experiencing.

TSH is short for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. This is produced by the hypothalamus. When T4 levels (which are hormones produced by the thyroid) are low, the hypothalamus produces TSH to tell the thyroid to start producing T4. Thus, the hypothalamus is really a regulator for the thyroid.

An indicator of hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease is raised levels of TSH and low levels of T4. In Hyperthyroidism or Graves disease, the T4 levels will be elevated and TSH level will be low.

Common symptoms of hypothyroidism are weight gain, intolerance to cold, hair loss, fatigue, muscle pain, goiter, depression and constipation.

Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism are weight loss, anxiety, intolerance to heat, hair loss, fatigue or hyperactivity, muscle pain, depression, diarrhea, tremor, and palpitations.

A goiter is inflammation of the thyroid gland, also known as the thyroid gland becoming enlarged. Meanwhile, a thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland.

For a premenopausal woman, normal values range from 4-30 U/L or 5-20 micro-international units per milliliter. In a pregnant woman, FSH levels are too low to measure. After menopause, normal values range from 40-250 U/L
