Osteoporosis
Hypothalamus
center of the endocrine system, negative feedback, controls pituitary
Adipose tissue
endocrine gland, secretes hormones for metabolism. Adinoectin and leptin. White vs Brown fat
Phychoimmunology
endocrine, NS, and immune system interact.
Sympathetic NS
is aroused during stress and causes the adrenal medulla to release catecholamines
Catecholamines
compounds that control stress response, fight or flight. Epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine
Cortisol
Glucocorticoid hormone from adrenal cortex, lipid and carb metabolism, stress response
Decrease: Wound healing, inflammation, bone formation
Increase: urine, GI secretions
Endorphins
Endogenous, modulate pain transmission
Growth Hormone (Somatotrophin)
Stimulates skeletal and visceral growth, increases after stress
Prolactin
Growth of breasts and milk, sexual satisfaction
Testosterone
regulate male sex characteristics
Neuroendocrine Theory of Aging
Cells are programed to die or lose function (menopause)
Aging Pituitary
Decrease in weight and blood supply
Aging Thyroid
Decrease in size, becomes fibrotic, decreases hormone secretion
Aging parathyroid
no changes
Aging Adrenal Glands
Increase fibrotic
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Common with acromegaly, diabetes, pregnancy, hypothyroidism
Posterior Pituitary
Only stores and releases hormones; Oxytocin and ADH
Oxytocin
Stimulates contractions, breast milk, and sleep rhythm
ADH
Vasopressin; reabsorbtion of water at kidneys and ACTH Release
Anterior Pituitary
Makes and stores hormones; Somatotropin, TSH, FSH, LH, Prolactin, ACTH, Lipotropin, MSH
