Question
Answer
This Disease is associated with very tall, yet normally proportioned people. They may be 8 ft tall due to lack of closure of epiphyseal plates on time. Usually occurs due to a pituitary gland tumor   Giantism - hypersecretion of GH Acromegally happens in adulthood. Eipyseal plates close though  
🗑
Results in a short person (4 ft tall) who is normally proportioned Hand x rays show unusually large epiphyseal plates for child’s age Insulin like growth factor levels in the blood are low   hyposecretion of HGH = pituitary dwarfism  
🗑
Rapid heart rate High BP Agitation and anxiety H/O weight loss Blood TSH levels are low T3 and T4 levels are high   hyperthoroidism, like Grave's  
🗑
High BP Agitation and anxiety C/O heart palpitations Metanephrines (metabolites of epi and NE) are found in the urine. This is an abnormal finding.   adrenal medulla tumor (pheochromocytoma)  
🗑
C/O fatigue, malaise, and dry skin Pt. feels cold all the time H/O recent weight gain BP is low for this person Blood TSH levels are high Blood T3 and T4 are low   hypothyroidsims, ex myxedema (infant version is cretinism)  
🗑
Recent water weight gain noted Fat deposition between shoulder blades Face appears round and puffy CT scan of the abdomen reveals an adrenal mass Blood ACTH levels are low   adrenal cortex hypersecretion of cortisol, Cushing's syndrome  
🗑
Polyuria Polydipsia Very low BP C/O dizziness Fasting blood glucose normal No history of diabetes mellitus   diabetes insipidus  
🗑
Polydipsia Polyphagia Polyuria Glucosuria High fasting and post prandial glucose No insulin noted in the blood after a glucose challenge.   diabetes mellitus - I  
🗑
Polyuria Polydipsia Polyphagia Visual disturbances Neuropathy Patient is overweight and sedentary High fasting glucose High blood insulin levels   Diabetes mellitus - II  
🗑
Peripheral edema is noted BP is high Blood potassium is low Pt. C/O water weight gain   hyperaldosteronism  
🗑
2 posterior pituitary hormones   oxytocin and ADH found here  
🗑
anterior pituitary releases   releasing hormones released by this organ  
🗑
LH, FSH, ACTH, PRL, GH, TSH   released by anterior pituitary (partial list)  
🗑
vasopressin same as ADH?   yes vasopressin same as ADH  
🗑
Human growth hormone functions   insulin-like growth hormones. stimulates the building of proteins, to maintain blood glucose levels and tissue repair. At liver it promotes conversion of glycogen to glucose.  
🗑
CRH--> ACTH-->adrenal cortext to make 3 hormones   *cortisol (primary) *aldosterone *androgens  
🗑
TRH-->TSH-->thyroid T3/T4   if T3/T4 present, neg feedback to stop TRH. If thyroid damaged, not enough T3/T4, losts more TRH and TSH. Therefore if those levels are high and T3/T4 low, you know thyroid damaged  
🗑
if adrenal cortex damaged, not enough cortisol, which inhibits CRH & ACTH called   adrenal cortical insufficiency  
🗑
ADH=vasopressing has mult targets   kidney, sudoriferous glands, arterioles (constrict to increase bp)  
🗑
RAA used when pt has:   decreased bp sensed by baroreceptors in KIDNEY afferent arteriole  
🗑
JG cells in kidney secrete   renin  
🗑
renin acts like enzyme to stim rxn of   angiotensinogen --> angiotensinI  
🗑
Angio I --> Angio II where   in lungs, catalyzed by ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme)  
🗑
Angio II acts like hormone when it binds to its multiple targets . . .   *adrenal cortex to yield aldosterone to reabsorb sodium in cduct *anterior pituitary --> ADH/vasopressin-->kidney cduct --> reabsorb water *sweat glands --> decrease sweat *bvessels -->vasoconstrict  
🗑
RAA also effects hypothalamus osmoreceptors as it responds to angio II and increased osmolarity (needs water)?   Yes hypothalamus activated by RAA  
🗑
ACE enzyme -->angio II, so if give ACE inhib would have what effect on bp   lower bp (antihypertensive ACE inhib)  
🗑
Aldosterone blocking drug - aldactone - it's action   sodium not reabsorbed, pt diuresing  
🗑
vasopressin admin to pt effect on bp   would increase bp ('pressor drug')  
🗑
effect of over production of renin   high bp, needs antihypertensive drugs  
🗑
effect of lack of ADH disease state   diabetes insipidus tx with vasopressin/ADH  
🗑
effect angio II on bvessels   vasoconstriction bwo of binding to AngioII receptors NOT alpha receptors, which increases bp. Therefore, ATII receptor-blocker drug class = ARBS  
🗑
T3/T4   targets almost all body cells, stim metab enz, increase metab, NS maturation, GI motility, skin hydration, cardiac muscle fxn, upregulates (makes more sensitive) B receptors in myocardium  
🗑
hyperthroidism   increased HR, BP, cell metab, heat production etc  
🗑
hypothyroidism   s/s dec bp, hr, feeling cold, dry skin, lethargy, weight gain  
🗑
cretinism (hypothyroidism) in babies causes   mental retardation  
🗑
PTH   secreted in response to low blood CA. *promotes increased CA by stim osteoclasts  
🗑
hypocalcemia results in muscular   tetany (opens Na vgates)  
🗑
ANP/BNP   secreted by atria/ventricles respectively in response to stretch on walls of heart (too much fluid in heart) *diminishes activity of ADH/aldosterone *increases GFR *result is diuretic effect  
🗑
BNP is a marker for what disorder   heart failure  
🗑
What ANP/BNP want to accomplish   relieving heart of xs fluid  
🗑
how to treat Diabetes insipidus   give pressin drug  
🗑
cortisol - metabolic hormone   *promotes gluconeogensis in liver (big player) *promotes lipolysis/lypogenesis, pro catab to make metab enzymes *inhibits inflammation by decreasing activity of immune cells *immunosuppressant  
🗑
Cushing's Disease   too much cortisol  
🗑
symptoms of Cushings   *hyperglycemia, loss of muscle tone, bv integrity, osteoporosis, bruising, immunosuppression, moon face/buffalo hump  
🗑
Aldosterone   from adrenal cortex in response to low bp and ATII, or high K levels *targets principal cells of reabsorb Na, secrete K *major regulator of fluid volume/bp  
🗑
Aldosteronism   too much aldosterone, usually due to cortical tumor  
🗑
aldosteronism effects   edema, hypertension, hypokalemia resulting in nm weakness & paralysis  
🗑
Addison's   decreased cortisol AND aldosterone AKA adrenal cortical insufficiency  
🗑
s/s Addisons   hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, HTN  
🗑
Tx for Addison's   give aldosterone and cortisol - dosing imp so don't induce Cushings  
🗑
Epi/norep   chromaffin cells in symp secreted by adrenal medulla  
🗑
Insulin targets all cells but mostly   liver, muscle  
🗑
insulin promotes   cellular uptake of glucose, glycogenesis, pro synth, lipogenesis  
🗑
glucagon (alpha cells) targets   hepatocytes  
🗑
glucagon (beta cells) promotes   gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis  
🗑
promotes increased glucose   glucagon  
🗑
promotes decreased glucose   insulin  
🗑
Type 1 diabetes   B cells don't produce insulin  
🗑
Type 2 diabetes   cells not receptive to insulin, but cell receptors downregulated (less sensitive due to overstimulation chronic)  
🗑
Tx Type II diabetes to increase receptor sensitivity   *TZDs and Actos to increase receptor sensitivity *give metformin to decrease gluconeogensis *give incretin mimetics (Byeta)  
🗑
incretin mimetics are drugs that act like a hormone to   *incretin = GIP = glucose dependent insulinotropic (move glucose) peptide *secreted by int cell when glucose passes through *Glu-GIP leaves blood, to pancreas, which secretes insulin  
🗑
