|
Diabetes Insipidus |
Hyposecretion of ADH due to damage of hypothalamus or posterior pituitary |
|
Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH) |
Hypersecretion of ADH, characterized by fluid retention and headaches |
|
Posterior pituitary |
Smaller, neural tissue, stores & secretes (oxytocin, ADH) |
|
Anterior pituitary |
Larger, glandular tissue, makes hormones (GH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, PRL) |
|
Tropic hormones |

|
TH Synthesis |
1. Thyroglobulin is synthesized & discharged into follicle lumen 2. Iodide is trapped 3. Iodide is oxydized to iodine 4. Iodine is attached to tyrosine 5. Iodinated tyrosine are linked to form T3 & T4 6. Thyroglobulin colloid is endocytosed and combined with lysosome 7. Lysosome enzymes cleave T3 & T4 from Thyroglobulin and hormones diffuse into the blood stream |
|
PTH hormone result |
Stimulates osteoclasts to digest bone and release Ca, enhances absorption of Ca, promotes activation of Vit D by kidneys which increases absorption of Ca by intestines |
|

|
Cardiac tamponade |
Excess fluid leak into pericardial space, compresses heart's ability to pump |
|
Angina pectoris |
Thoracic pain caused by fleeting deficiency in blood delivery to myocardium (weakened cells) |
|
AP of contractile heart muscle |
1. At -90mV: Depolarization by fast voltage - gated Na channels cause Na influx 2. Also opens slow Ca channels (at +30mV Na close) and slowly close to form plateau 3. After 200ms Ca close and voltage - gated K open and K efflux occurs to repolarize the cell |
