What does the endocrine system consist of?
two adrenal glands, two ovaries (female), four parathyroid glands, pancreas, pineal gland, pituitary gland, two testes (male), thymus gland, thyroid gland
32
Sections of the adrenal gland...
adrenal cortex (outer portion) and adrenal medulla (inner portion)
33
parathyroid gland
regulates calcium in the blood
34
pancreas
the exocrine portion releases digestive enzymes through a duct into the duodenum of the small intestine. The endocrine sections produce insulin and glucagon.
35
ovaries
produce estrogen and progesterone
36
pineal gland
secretes melatonin that helps to govern our 24 hour clock
37
pituitary gland
divided into two lobes (anterior and posterior) which are controlled by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain active in regulating automatic body responses
38
testes
produce male gametes, sperm and testosterone
39
thymus gland
secretes thymosin, for proper development of the immune system
40
thyroid gland
produces thyroxine and triiodothyronine. They help to regulate the production of energy and heat in the body to adjust the body's metabolic rate.
41
the study of the endocrine system
endocrinology
42
the master endocrine gland
pituitary
43
general term for the sexual organs that produce gametes
gonads
44
term for the hormones produced by the outer layer of the adrenal cortex
corticosteroids
45
an inadequate supply of what hormone causes diabetes insipidus
antidiuretic hormone
46

62
adrenomegaly
one or both adrenal glands enlarged
63
edema
condition in which the body tissues contain excessive amounts of fluid
64
exophthalmos
condition in which the eyeballs protrude, such as in Graves' disease. This is generally caused by an overproduction of thyroid hormone.
65
Cushing's disease
overactive adrenal cortex
66
goiter
enlarged thyroid
67
acromegaly

68
gigantism
excessive groth hormone in a child
69
myxedema
insufficient thyroid hormone in an adult

Hashimoto's thyroiditis
an autoimmune disease
73
Graves' disease
hyperthyroidism
74
Addison's disease
underactive adrenal cortex
75
Protein-bound iodine test
measures T4 concentration in the blood
76
fasting blood sugar
measures blood sugar level after 12-hour fast
77
radioimmunoassay
measures levels of hormones in the blood
78
thyroid scan
uses radioactive iodine
79
2 hour postprandial glucose tolerance test
test of glucose metabolism two hours after eating a meal
80
glucose tolerance test
determines glucose metabolism after patient receives a measured dose of glucose
81
