Will a parotid gland tumor cause pain?
depending on the size, generally no. I have one that is 2.5cm x 3cm and is located just behind my jawbone. No pain what so ever, even if you push on it. It does however cause discomfort in my jaw occasionally, which is what led me to finding it in the first place. One more day until my biopsy results come in.....

How does hyperthyroidism cause brisk tendon reflexes?
The overactive thyroid releases excessive thyroxin. Thyroxin regulates how fast every cell in the body goes, including those in the nervous system. When neurons are bombarded with excess thyroxin telling them they need to go faster, reflexes quicken and the patient becomes jumpy, excitable, easily startled, and highly anxious. This is all due to the effect of thyroxin on the nervous system.
More specifically, T3 (tri-iodothyronine) is going to act intracellularly on the genes that make Sodium/Potassium ATPase pumps. T3 will also increase their activity. The process of nervous signal transduction involves depolarization of the neuron to generate an action potential. When there is increased K intracelluarly due to increased pump activity, the cell will have generated a larger membrane potential resulting in a much more reactive neuron. This will lead to hyperreflexia via hyperthyroidism. Treating the hyperthyroidism is needed to control this.
If thyroid tests is low what way should your dosage be moved?
The question can't be answered unless you say what drug you're on and what thyroid test is low.
Why is the hypothalamus important to both the nervous and endocrine system?
1.
The hypothalamus integrates the endocrine and nervous systems. The hypothalamus uses the endocrine system because it takes feedback from hormones to help maintain homeostasis by keeping levels within the body regular. The hypothalamus uses the nervous system because it takes instant feedback from the nerves, which it uses to also maintain homeostasis.

It means your thyroid is not functioning properly for some reason. I had thyroid cancer so my thyroid was totally removed. You need to see about getting on something like synthroid.
TSH is secreted by the pituitary and acts on the?
TSH-Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
What does TSH Test mean?
TSH This hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland and regulates the function of the thyroid gland.
In the human body, the thyroid gland is located below the urethra or on either side of the trachea.
The two main hormones of the thyroid gland are: T3, T4.
T3 means:Triodothyronine.
T4 means:
The pituitary gland called TSH regulates the amount of the hormone T3 and T4.
TSH indirectly controls the use of energy in the body and regulates weight, body temperature, muscle strength, etc.
Even our mental memory and control.
Why do I need a TSH Test?
Excess TSH hormone is called hyperthyroidism and low secretion of THS is called hypothyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism:
Symptoms of increased THS include anxiety, weight loss, trembling hands and feet, chest tightness, swelling of the body, swelling of the eyes, and trouble sleeping.
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include: weight gain, fatigue, hair loss, chills, leprosy, etc.
Collection Of blood for TSH Test:
To collect TSH test, blood is collected from the veins of the hand through a series.
Very little blood is required. Only two millimeters of blood is enough.
Special Preparation befor TSH test:
All the rules that the patient has to follow before blood collection for TSH test; no special rules have to be followed. However, some medicines such as;
So: When doing the test, give complete information about the medicine you are taking in the laboratory. If you are taking medicine for thyroid patient regularly, then blood test should be done before taking the medicine.
Get tested for TSH. Usually it is better to test without eating for 10-12 hours. Remember that tea or coffee cannot be eaten.
Modern method of TSH testing:
Currently most advanced labs use the TSH test 3rd generation method or the highly sensitive ultra sensitive TSH method.
Normal Range of TSH:
The normal value of TSH is given in the test report. Normal value changes according to the test method, so adhere to the standard in the report
Here is a picture of the normal TSH standard which is the most common in Bangladesh.
TSH Test Result:
High TSH is caused by a decrease in the function of the thyroid gland.
TSH is increased even if a patient undergoes surgery to remove thyroid gland. Taking extra entry thyroid medicine also increases the amount of TSH. If there is a tumor in the pituitary gland, the level of TSH can be very high.
There is a hereditary disease in which TSH is increased in cases where the body is not functioning adequately due to thyroid gland hormones.
The reason TSH is too much is:
If the thyroid gland is overactive, it may be due to taking extra thyroid medicine.
Taking low doses of entry thyroid medication can reduce the amount of TSH.
This is only in the case of those who have undergone thyroid treatment. Even if the amount of TSH is more or less, it cannot be said that there is any specific disease.
If TSH levels are abnormal, tests called T3 and T4 are needed.
Do Test TSH during Pregnancy?
The role of thyroid in the body of pregnant mother is especially important.
Sleep problems can be caused by low or high levels of thyroid hormones.
In many cases the amount of TSH increases during pregnancy.
And for this reason, pregnant mothers should get TSH tested.
Pregnant mothers need a TSH test within the first month.
Test TSH for newborn:
The newborn must have a TSH test.
When the amount of thyroid hormone is abnormal, the child htheas mental and physic
If you are in menopause you wont get pregnant.
What role do tropic hormone have on endocrine system?
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are similar glycoproteins. FSH and LH are also called gonadotropins because they stimulate the activities of the gonads.
TSH promotes normal development of the thyroid gland and the production of thyroid hormones.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates the production and secretion of steroid hormones by the adrenal cortex.
signals to the brain stimulate release of an anterior pituitary tropic hormone. The tropic hormone then acts on its target endocrine tissue, stimulating secretion of a hormone that exerts systemic metabolic or developmental effects.
Is insulin secreted by the adrenal gland?
Nope, insulin is secreted by the Pancreas in the Isles of Langerhans.
What is the pituitary gland function?
Hormones secreted from the pituitary gland help control the following body processes:
What is a slow-acting body control system?
The slow acting control system of the body is the Endocrine system. It is responsible for producing and releasing hormones into the blood.
What is progestrone deficiency and how to treat it?
For a good balanced sexual life both men and women are in need of progesterone hormone in good amount of number. If there is deficiency in progesterone hormone means then sexual life between men and women will become an unbalanced one. To reduce progesterone deficiency, progesterone cream for men and women are available which will be helpful for progesterone deficiency.
it is not dangerous to have low thyroid but you shold take levothyroxine other wise your thyroid gland can get swollen and then you will have a fat neck
Why are scrotal nuclear medicine scans performed?
This test is used almost exclusively to differentiate infection in the testis (testicle) from twisting and infarction.
secretions of glands which are first secreated into gland acni & then poured via duct like exocrine part of pancreas gland
Thyroid and thymus glands are common in male & females.
pituitary (Brain), adrenal gland & testis are only present in males.
pineal gland(Brain), pancreas & ovary are in females.
Could the overuse of insulin cause your thyroid to enlarge?
I do not believe so, because the insulin acts more closely with the pancreas and liver. The thyroid gland usually enlarges, and forms a goiter, if you are lacking in iodine, or if you have hyperthyroid or hypothyroid.
