Health Promotion
Endocrine System |
Endocrine Glands are interrelated and interdependant
Function = Homeostasis -Reproduction -Growth & development -Regulate Energy -Internal Homeostasis -Coordinate response to environment and stress |
|
|
Neuroendocrine system
|
*ANS and endocrine interrelated
*Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland integrate communication between neuro and endocrine |
|
|
Pineal
|
Sex maturation
|
|
|
Pituitary = (anterior & posterior)
|
Master Gland
|
|
|
Parathyroid
|
Promotes bone resorption
|
|
|
Thyroid
|
Metabolic rate/Growth & Development
|
|
|
Thymus
|
Antibody immune system
|
|
|
Adrenal Cortex & Medulla
|
Glucocorticoids, mineralcorticoids, sex hormones
|
|
|
Pancreas
|
Related to diabetes
|
|
|
Gonads
|
Sex hormones and glands
|
|
|
Hormones
|
-Control a number of physiologic activities
-Majority bound to plasma for transport -Specificity is determined by receptors -Rich in blood supply (enter bloodstream rapidly) |
|
|
Hormone Regulation
|
-Negative feedback-(Calcium and parathyroid hormone)
-Positive feedback - high levels stimulate synthesis & secretion (LH hormone) -Complex feedback (TSH) -Initiated by CNS & implemented by ANS -Rhythms (Circadian,menstrual) |
|
|
Negative Feedback
|
Parathyroid
-Calcium & PTH -Decrease Calcium, increase PTH -Increase Ca absorption (intestine) Increase Ca resorption (bone) -Decrease Ca excretion (kidneys) Increase Ca reabsorption (kidneys) |
|
|
Master Gland
|
The anterior pituitary gland is the master gland
|
|
|
Manifestations of hormone dysfunction
|
*Assessment is difficult due to affect on every body system, nonspecific
-Weight loss or appetite changes -Fatigue -Depression -Sleep disturbances |
|
|
Endocrine focus
|
*Pancreas
*Thyroid Gland *Parathyroid Glands *Adrenal Glands |
|
|
Commonalities
|
*Nutritional considerations
*Medication compliance *Lab values *Aging considerations (as age increases, hormone production decreases (decreased response of target organs) |
|
|
Nursing Diagnosis
|
*Imbalanced Nutrition
*Activity Intolerance *Anxiety *Disturbed self concept *Risk for ineffective management of therapeutic regimen **Look at Lewis's care plans, they are very well prioritized** |
