Endocrinology

Front 1

adrenal gland

Back 1

located on top of kidney

adrenal cortex out/ adrenal medulla inner

Front 2

Salt

Back 2

Salt=Na= aldosterone

Front 3

Sugar

Back 3

= cortisol

Front 4

Sex

Back 4

=sex hormones (andostrienone)

Front 5

pheochromocytoma

Back 5

tumor of adrenal medulla; increases catecholamine relase leading to severe sporadic HTN increased HR, adaphoresis CP, palp etc

Front 6

aldosterone

Back 6

mineralcorticoid; stimulates na+ absorption (takes sodium back into body)

Front 7

cortisol

Back 7

Glucocostiricoid- important regulator of blood glucose; many other diverse functions

Stress horomes: increases blood glucose makes new glucose breaks down fat + protein

Front 8

Sex hormone

Back 8

Precursors are released that can be converted into testosterone or estrogen int he peripheral tissues

Front 9

disorders 2 major

Back 9

addisons and cushings

Front 10

underactive adrenal gland= Addisions s/s

Back 10

hypotension, hyperpigmentation muscle weakness anorexia hypoglycemia hyper kalemic acidosis

Insufficient aldosterone = peeng out too much na and water retaining k and h

Insufficient cortisol production= cant respond to catecholamines hypoglycemic insufficient metabolic substances for metabolism

Front 11

overactive adrenal gland=cushing

Back 11

buffalo hump moon face, muscle wasting, difficult to stand from sitting position

caused by prolonged steroid use

Front 12

thyroid

Back 12

secretes thyroid hormones essential for metabolism secretes calcitionin tones down calcium in blood by putting ca into bone therefore building bone

Front 13

parathyroid

Back 13

secretes parathyroid hormone which balances calcitonin

PTH increases Ca in blood that is essential for life

Front 14

calcitonin

Back 14

ca decerase in blood= building bone= osteoblast

Front 15

PTH

Back 15

ca increase in blood= breaks bone down= osteclast

Front 16

hypothyroidism

Back 16

cold intolerance

weight gain

lethargy

weakness

dry hair

goiter

enlarged tongue

coase voice

Front 17

hyperthyroidism

Back 17

palpitations

cp

weight loss

heat intolerance

big eyes

a fib

resting tremors

Front 18

myxedema

Back 18

hypothermia

ams coma

hypotension

decareased respiratory drive

TX- rewarm iv bolus ventilator support

Front 19

thyroid storm

Back 19

ams

cp

tachyarrhythmia MAT are common

HTN

shock

gever

tremor

TX- o2 EKG cooling fluids

Front 20

Addison disease

Back 20

is adrenocortical insufficiency due to the destruction of the adrenal cortex

it affects glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid function

Front 21

hyperpigmentation

Back 21

caused by the stimulatnt effect of excess adrenocorticotrophic hormone ACTH

Front 22

adrenal crisis

Back 22

should administer hydrocortisone and fluid bolus

Front 23

adrenal medullae secretes

Back 23

epi and norepe sympathetic stimulation results in secretion

Front 24

glucocorticoids are nonspecific cardact stimulatnts that active the relase of

Back 24

casoactive substances corticosteroids stress results in hypotesion shock and death

Front 25

myxedema coma

Back 25

rare life threatiening condition occurs late in the profession of hypothyroidism

Front 26

graves disease

Back 26

diffuse toxic goiter the most common form of over hyperthyroidism

Front 27

thyroid storm

Back 27

is a rare fatal complication of hyperthyroidis occurs in pts with untreated thyrotoxicosis precipitating evens such as surgery infection trauma

Front 28

DKA occurs in pts with type 1 diabetes but is not uncommon in pts w type 2

Back 28

s/s alcohole breath odor
