What is a scrotal nuclear medicine scan?

What condition develops when the immune system attacks and destroys the thyroid gland?
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Is both an endocrine and an exocrine gland?
No. Adrenal gland has got only endocrine function. It does not have exocrine functions.
There are several tests done for thyroid function. They require different tubes.
What is the gland that regulates activities of all other endocrine galnds?
The pituitary gland is considered the master gland and secretes hormones that control other glands.
What hormone stimulates the cycle of egg or sperm production?

How do hormones coordinate the response to stress?
Releases hormones to speed up glucose production for energy
Endocrine system which is formed of all endocrine glands of body which along with nervous system of body, controls and coordinates the body functions and maintains a homestasis inside the body. Thoughs different endocrine glands are different in embroynic origin and are isolated from one another but these interact with one another so collectively form an endocrine system. The secreation of endocrine glands are known as hormones like insulin which control blood sugar level.
The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating metabolism, growth, development and puberty, tissue function, and also plays a part in determining mood.
The field of medicine that deals with disorders of endocrine glands is endocrinology, a branch of the wider field of internal medicine.
What vitamins should I take after thyroid removal?
Sometimes, as a result of thyroid surgery, the parathyroid glands can get damaged in the process. This requires a patient to take a daily calcium supplement. Talk with your physician if they have any recommendations regarding what vitamins you might need to take after thyroid removal.
What tissue does cortisol target?
Cortisol affects the liver, fat, immune system and cell tissues of the body during long term stress. It causes the liver to breakdown protein into amino acids, increasing the level of blood glucose. It converts fats into fatty acids, decreases glucose uptake in cells, and suppresses the immune system.
Basically, it works to conserve glucose for the brain.
What happens if the hypothalamus is destroyed?
The hypothalamus controls a lot of different things in the human body so many things would happen if it was destroyed. You would lose the ability to control your body temperature, you would not know when you are hungry, and you would lose all behavior attachments.

Does speed show up in blood test?
Speed is one of the drugs everyone tests for. The very cheapest drug test you can get that does anything for you is the 5-drug panel. It costs five bucks to run if you buy one test, and if you buy a whole box of them they're even cheaper. It tests for speed, meth, weed, cocaine and one other drug that you get to choose--some test for PCP, some for downers, some for opiates.
What mineral is important for a healthy thyroid?
The element that is most commonly added to table salt that helps control thyroid function is iodine. Including iodinized salt in your daily diet is important because it can help prevent thyroid conditions such as a goiter. A goiter is inflammation of the thyroid gland, also known as the thyroid gland becoming enlarged. Worldwide, the most common cause of a goiter is due to a lack of iodine in our daily diet.
The element that is most commonly added to table salt (also known as sodium iodine) that helps control thyroid function is iodine. To make sure you are getting the proper table salt in your diet the container will say "iodinized salt." The thyroid naturally absorbs iodine as part of the synthesis process in storing, and secreting, thyroid hormone into the body.
Could hyperthyroidism cause a false negative on a pregnancy test?
No. There is almost nothing that can cause a false positive pregnancy test, and all of the causes require an urgent visit to a health care provider.
_______________________________________________________________
Malfunctioning thyroids can't; they don't produce the correct hormones to trigger a pregnancy test. But to swear nothing can cause a false positive is irresponsible and false in it's own right. I've been the victim of a false positive test. Always be sure to test in the morning when urine is more concentrated. It's also best to avoid drinking a ton of water before testing, or after to try and test again. This can mess with the test and give false results.
1. False positive pregnancy test due to improper testing...
Improper testing can lead to false positive results. Always follow the directions! Instructions will specify when test results are no longer valid. You should time and record the time you perform the test, and read results at the instructed time. Guessing can lead to false results. "Double checking" your results often leads to false positives. Fishing your test out of the garbage after too much time has passed can change the initial results.
2. Evaporation line on a pregnancy test...
With some tests you can see where the testing line is. When urine runs across the test strip it can briefly change the color. Some tests allow you to see what can best be described as a watermark; kind of like what you see on US paper currency. If there is no color or you have to really mess with it in the light to see a line; it could be an evaporation line. Try retesting in a few days or using a digital test is recommended.
3. False positive pregnancy tests can be caused by certain medications...
Sometimes urine can be contaminated with blood or large amounts of protein, which can lead to false positive results.
4. Certain medical conditions can lead to false positive test results...
If you receive a positive result from a home pregnancy test it is important to see your doctor. It's is not common, rare medical conditions can cause false positive results on home pregnancy tests. Certain cancers, can cause higher levels of hCG levels.
5. Defective pregnancy tests...
Expired or faulty tests can also lead to false positive results. Remember, an occasional defective test may come out of a batch.
If you're unsure about the results of your home pregnancy test, ALWAYS consult your doctor.
What is the function of the FSH?
FSH is primarily responsible for stimulating growth of the ovarian follicle, which includes the developing egg, the cells surrounding the egg that produce the hormones needed to support a pregnancy, and the fluid around the egg. As the follicle grows, an increasing amount of the hormone estrogen is produced by the cells in the follicle and released into the bloodstream. Estrogen causes the endometrium (lining of the uterus) to thicken before ovulation occurs. The higher blood levels of estrogen will also tell the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to slow the production and release of FSH.
What systems does the endocrine system interact with?
The endocrine system affects every other body system. It has glands which are located in many places of the body and they release hormones which affect the growth and development of many organs and sexual development as well. which contributes to the respiratory system, as if in a designated area, remains there although it does not help to maintaing functions such as the heart or blood circulation. Stays by delivering puberty to both growth and physical appearance of the body.
