Question
Answer
Posterior pituitary   secretes ADH Raises bp Increases water absorption  
🗑
Anterior pituitary   GH, TSH, Lh, FSH,  
🗑
Thyroid   T3 T4 Increases metabolic rate  
🗑
The pituitary gland is connected to the hypothalamus via the   Infandibulum  
🗑
The hypothalamus produces 2 hormones   ADH and Oxytocin  
🗑
ADH and Oxytocin is stored in the   posterior pituitary  
🗑
Pineal gland   located in the brain and releases melatonin  
🗑
Pituitary gland is divided into two sections the anterior and posterior the anterior....   is larger and made of glandular tissue  
🗑
Posterior pituitary is smaller and   made of neural tissue  
🗑
Posterior STORES 2 hormones made by the hypothalamus   ADH and Oxytocin  
🗑
ACTH   Adrenal Corticotropic hormone produced by the anterior pituitary targets the adrenal glands  
🗑
TSH   released by anterior pituitary  
🗑
Thyroid   produces T3 and T4 and calcatonin regulates metabolism  
🗑
calcitonin   prohibits the release of calcium from the bones this lowers the serum CA+ level Stops urinary secretion of calcium (calci-NO-nin)=lower Ca+  
🗑
4 nodules embedded in tissue in the thyroid   parathyroid  
🗑
parathyroid   releases parathormone  
🗑
parathormone   releases calcium into the blood and increases serum calcium level  
🗑
thymus   located in the chest and is responsible for T cell maturation releases thymosin and thymopoietin  
🗑
Adrenal cortex   Sweet salty sex androgens, aldosterone, and glucocortioids (barking sex)  
🗑
Adrenal medulla   catacholamines Epi and norEpi (inside I'm scared)  
🗑
pancreas   only endocrine and exocrine gland insulin and glucagon and somastatin  
🗑
Beta cells produce   insulin lowers blood sugar  
🗑
alpha cells   produce glucagon increases blood sugar  
🗑
somastatin   "cruise control" keeps blood sugar regulated  
🗑
pheochromocytoma   tumor of the adrenal gland usually benign  
🗑
s/sx of hyperthyroidism   fine thin stringy hair, heat intolerance, weight loss, increased appetite, bug eyes hyperglycemia, increased levels of T3 and T4 decreased serum TSH  
🗑
medication for hyperthyroidism   PTU (propylthiouracil) given at the same time q. day WITH FOOD  
🗑
complication of hyperthyroidism   thyroid storm: S/SX: fever, dehydration, tachycardia, n/v, diarrhea, HF, confusion, and death  
🗑
hypothyroidism   intolerance to cold, facial edema, fatigue, slow speech, anorexia, weight gain,brittle nails and hair, constipation, dry skin, menstrual disturbances decreased T3 and T4 Increase in TSH  
🗑
addisons disease   affects the adrenal cortex bronze skin, bearded lady, GI dist., hypoglycemia, weight loss, postural hypo tension, reduced vascular volume  
🗑
labs for addisons disease   low Na+ and high K+  
🗑
thyroid post-op care   neck support when turning and TCDB keep a suction kit at bedside  
🗑
medication for hypothyroidism   levothyroxine: before meals in the morning  
🗑
pheochromocytoma nursing care   don't palpate the abdomen  
🗑
DI Diabetes Insipidus causes   head injury, pituitary tumor, or crainiotomy  
🗑
DI s/sx   up to 20L/day urination decreased: urine specific gravity (less than 1.010), osmolarity, BP Increased: thirst Tachycardia  
🗑
DI nursing care   monitor I/O, replace fluids frequent neuro checks  
🗑
Pathophysiology for DI   decreased ADH secreations from the anterior pituitary  
🗑
Cushings syndrome S/Sx   moon face, personality changes, increase r/o infection, gynecomastia, truncal obesity, buffalo hump, hyperglycemia, bruises and petechia  
🗑
causes of cushings syndrome   hypersecretion of cortisol from the adrenal glands  
🗑
~bonus~ tetraiodothyrodine   hormone produced by the thyroid that regulates metabolsim  
🗑
