-
Hormone-Receptor Binding
-
Positive and Negative Feedback System
-
Negative FeedbackGland X releases hormone X this stimulates target cells to release hormone YWhen there is an excess of hormone Y gland X senses this and inhibits it release of hormone X
-
Hypothalamus
-
Endocrine Glands: Adrenal GlandsAdrenal cortexmineralocorticoids (aldosterone), corticosteroids (cortisol)Adrenal medullacatecholamines (norepinephrine and epinephrine)
-
Thyroid Gland Control of metabolismCalcium and phosphorus balance
-
Parathyroid GlandParathyroid hormone (PTH)CalciumPhosphorous
-
Pancreas
-
Assessment MethodsPatient history
Nutrition history
Family history
Genetic risk
Current health problems
-
Assessment Methods Current health problems including any changes in:Energy levelsEliminationSexual and reproductive functionsPhysical appearance
-
Physical AssessmentExamine for:Prominent forehead or jawRound or puffy faceDull or flat expressionExophthalmosVitiligoAbdominal StriaeHirsutism
-
PalpationOnly gland that can be palpated
-
Laboratory TestsStimulation/suppression tests
AssaysAllows for many different hormones to be analyzed at the same time
Urine tests24 hour
Tests for glucoseHbA1C
Imaging assessment
