Endocrine System

Iodine(127) is important part of thyroid hormone which help to regulate body temperature and metabolic rate. Hormones are Triiodothyronine and Thyroxine with three and four Iodine atoms respecively.

Humoral Stimulation is one of the least complicated of the endocrine control systems. It directly responds to changing blood levels of ions and nutrients. I can not answer the last part without having your answer options.

Testosterone and estrogen are important if you are considering only the reproductive system, but it would be dopamine and melatonin if you consider all the body systems working to maintain homeostasis during the circadian cycle.

Adrenaline is released during alarm phase of the general adaptation syndrome, when it is necessary to enlist the fight or flight response. This adaptation is so hard-wired in our bodies that simply watching a scary movie can elicit the response, cause the body to release Adrenaline, and bring about all the same physiological changes that are produced if a knife-wielding person attacked you. The same response can occur when you open your electric bill and see that you owe nearly $500, or when a person softly approaches so you didn't hear them coming and they surprise you.

any feedback that subtract from the input is negative feedback

Target tissues or target cells are regions that are receptive to hormones. These tissues have specific receptors that bind with the hormones and trigger a response within the cell.

mid brain regulates the endocrine system. hypothalamus (part of mid brain) connects with pituitary gland , known as master gland (it controls secretion of hormones from other endocrine glands)

The hormone that regulates the synthesis and secretion of T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxine) by the thyroid gland is thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis.

Thyroid hormones T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine) control the metabolism of all the cells in the body. T4 is known as storage hormone and is the main thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. The 4 indicates the number of iodine molecules attached to it. T4 cannot be used directly by the body until an iodine molecule is dropped and it becomes T3. This is called conversion. T3 is the hormone actually used by cells.

You have the various releasing factors, that come from the hypothalamus. The low level of the hormones from the target organ like thyroid may stimulate thyroid stimulating hormone from the pituitary.

Insulin and glucagon are the two hormones, secreted by pancreas and oppose the action of one another.

Thyroid hormone, produced by the thyroid gland, plays a key role in regulating metabolic rate by controlling the body's energy production and consumption. Another hormone that affects metabolic rate is adrenaline, which is released by the adrenal glands in response to stress or danger, increasing energy expenditure and promoting the breakdown of stored nutrients for fuel.

The testes are part of the male reproductive system, in which their function is sperm production. The testes are also part of the endocrine system, in which they make the hormone testosterone.

Several factors can decrease adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) hormone levels in the body. Here are some of them:

1. Relaxation techniques: Engaging in relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation can help reduce adrenaline levels.

2. Physical activity: Regular exercise and physical activity can help regulate adrenaline levels. Engaging in activities like jogging, walking, swimming, or cycling can help dissipate excess adrenaline in the body.

3. Adequate sleep: Getting enough sleep is crucial for hormone regulation, including adrenaline. Lack of sleep or poor-quality sleep can contribute to increased adrenaline levels.

4. Stress management: High levels of stress can lead to an overproduction of adrenaline. Utilizing stress management techniques such as mindfulness, stress-reducing exercises, and seeking support from friends, family, or professionals can help decrease adrenaline levels.

5. Proper nutrition: Consuming a balanced diet with adequate nutrients can support hormone regulation. Avoiding excessive caffeine and refined sugars can help prevent adrenaline spikes.

6. Medications: Certain medications, such as beta-blockers, can help decrease the effects of adrenaline by blocking its receptors in the body. These medications are typically prescribed for conditions such as high blood pressure or anxiety disorders.

7. Avoiding triggers: Identifying and avoiding situations or substances that trigger an adrenaline response can help regulate adrenaline levels. These triggers can vary from person to person but may include loud noises, intense physical activity, or certain foods.

It's important to note that adrenaline plays a vital role in the body's stress response and can be beneficial in certain situations. However, chronic or excessive levels of adrenaline can have negative health effects, so maintaining a healthy balance is essential. If you have concerns about your adrenaline levels or experience symptoms related to hormonal imbalance, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.

The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream

Any person.. Especially those who have family history of thyroid disease and have defect gene of thyroid.

The hypothalamus regulates the Pituitary gland, and the Pituitary gland regulates the rest of the endocrine system.

A TSH of 3.68 is within the normal range. However, doctors like to see a TSH between .3 and 3 in those patients receiving thyroid replacement medications. Additionally, normal for one person may not be normal for another. Just as I wear a different shoe size than my husband, everyone's systems require different levels for them to feel well. My husband's shoe size is normal, so is mine. I will not be comfortable wearing his shoes all day however. A TSH test only shows an average value of your thyroid status over the last several weeks. You may still be experiencing periods of high and/or low thyroid and your TSH will appear normal. Knowing the level of your Free T3 and Free T4 as well as antibody levels will help determine what is going on and if you need treatment. When a TSH appears high, a patient is considered hypOthyroid. When a TSH is low, a patient is considered hypERthyroid.

Mildly elevated would be about 4.25-5.0. So if yours was in that range this is mild but it means your thyroid itself was not producing enough hormones (t3 and t4) so your pituitary gland in brain released more TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) to stimulate thyroid to prod more. But the high TSH means HYPOthyroisim. Under active thyroid which your doc would prob treat with a simple med called synthroid. Generic levothyroxine. This is a pill containing different form of the hormone (s) to make up for what your thyroid isn't producing.

I have a tumor in my salvatore gland and the doctor wants to remove the gland instead of just the tumor. We do not know if it is cancer or not. Will I have trouble making saliva? Will I have dry mouth? I do not want to be uncomfortable. Thanks Joanne consalvo joanneconsalvo@comcast.net

The reason why shellfish allergy is asked is because of the link between shellfish allergy and iodine allergy (shellfish are rich in iodine). That does not mean that if your allergic to shellfish then you are allergic to iodine - you may be allergic to another component that is in the shellfish.

Iodine is used in the thyroid scan as a dye and is injected into your veins. If you are allergic then the reaction would be quite quick and potentially serious. Asking about a shellfish allergy is to try to risk stratify those that may be more susceptible for a reaction and "prepare" the technician / radiologist for the worse case scenario.

The main allergic reaction we would be worried about would be true anaphylaxis (if you've not heard of this then you probably not had it). Rashes and facial swelling would indicate a allergic reaction. Sickness, diarrhea and feeling "off" would suggest an intolerance rather than a true allergic reaction.

Happy New Year!

try her on a apple a morning, toast with spaghetti or beans, then a piece of fish and salad for lunch and if she complains of being hungry after dinner then give her a bowl of cereal . if or when you do exercise have a bar of chocolate in the middle of it
