Q

Catecholamine that converts glycogen to glucose

A

Epinephrine

17
Q

Neurotransmitter affecting vascular smooth muscle and heart released primarily by postganglionic sympathetic nerves

A

Norepinephrine

18
Q

Neurotransmitter in the brain affecting the vascular system

A

Dopamine

19
Q

Tumor of the adrenal medulla, usually benign, and causes increased levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine

A

Pheochromocytoma

20
Q

Malignant tumor of the adrenal medulla that occurs in children that produces epinephrine and norepinephrine along with dopamine

A

Neuroblastoma

21
Q

What hormones can be expected to increase in neuroblastomas?

A

HVA and VMA

22
Q

An adrenal mass >1 cm, which is discovered on imaging performed to evaluate a nonadrenal pathology

A

Adrenal Incidentaloma

23
Q

An increased level of what hormone shuts off secretion of LH and FSH?

A

Testosterone

24
Q

Caused by an enzyme defect of 21-hydroxylase; prevents cortisol production

A

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

25
Q

Increased production of testosterone, may cause precocious puberty

A

Hyperandrogenemia

26
Q

Syndrome caused by an extra chromosome (XXY), can cause primary hypoandrogenemia

A

Klinefelter Syndrome

27
Q

Can be caused by primary hypofunction disorders of the pituitary or hypothalamus; causes decreased synthesis of LH and FSH

A

secondary hypoandrogenemia

28
Q

Hormone secreted by ovarian follicles and by the placenta (during pregnancy), and by a lesser extent in the adrenal glands and testes; promotes development and maintains the female reproductive system and secondary female sex characteristics

A

Estrogen

29
Q

Secreted by the ovarian follicles, mainly by the corpus luteum following ovulation; also by the placenta during pregnancy to maintain the uterus

A

Progesterone

30
Q

Which is the principle estrogen synthesized by the ovaries?

estradiol-17β
estrone
estradiol

A

Estradiol

31
Q

Menstruation phase characterized by estrogen stimulating growth of the uterine lining: progesterone levels are low

A

Follicular phase

32
Q

Menstruation phase characterized by progesterone promoting endometrium tissue to accept the fertilized ovum; progesterone measurements clinically useful to confirm ovulation

A

Luteal phase

33
Q

Genetic defect in females characterized by partial or complete loss of one of the two X chromosomes; causes non-functioning ovaries

A

Tuner syndrome

34
Q

Prevents menstrual cycle from occurring

A

Hyperprogesteronemia

35
Q

Causes infertility, abortion of fetus

A

Hypoprogesteronemia

36
Q

condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens, male sex hormones that are usually present in women in small amounts; can present with infertility, hirsutism, chronic anovulation, glucose intolerance, hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia, and hypertension

A

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
