Functions of Various Hormones 1. Increases water reabsorption in the kidney tubules 2. Promotes the reabsorption of sodium by the kidneys to increase water reabsorption 3. Regulates secretion of hormones by anterior pituitary gland 4. Stimulates mitosis and promotes bone and muscle growth 5. Raises blood glucose level in response to long-term stress 6.

O I (two);an inability of the pancreas to produce sufficient levels of insulin O 1 (one);an inability of the body to respond to insulin produced by the pancreas

8. Disorders of the Endocrine System: Fill in the table describing disorders of the Endocrine System. Type 1 diabetes mellitus A. Hypersecretion of cortisol – resulting in "moon face" and high blood pressure. B. Antibodies produced by the immune system stimulate the thyroid gland resulting in hyperthyroidism, often accompanied with protrusion of the eyes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus C. Hypersecretion of hGH during childhood causes a notable increase in height. Diabetes insipidus Cushing's syndrome D. Severe hypothyroidism. E. Destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas early in life results in low levels of insulin production. As a result, glucose cannot enter cells. Acromegaly. F. Hyposecretion of hGH resulting in slow growth pattern and an unusually small stature. Gigantism Addison's disease G. Hyposecretion of ADH or the kidneys not responding appropriately to ADH causes the body to excrete large volumes of urine, resulting in dehydration and thirst. Myxedema H. Target cells become…

In the pathogenesis of hypothyroidism which of the following is not correct?A. Low levels of antithyroid antibodiesB. Autoimmune process in thyroid glandC. Decrease in thyroid hormone synthesisD. Inadequate secretion of thyrotropinE. Peripheral resistance to effect of thyroid hormones

Describe the homeostatic control of plasma calcium levels by answering the following two questions: What role does calcitonin play in the maintenance of serum calcium? Give reference to the gland involved in secretion, the bone cells stimulated by calcitonin and the effects of calcitonin.  Describe the role parathyroid hormone (PTH) has in the maintenance of serum calcium, giving reference to the gland involved, the particular bone cells stimulated and the major effects of PTH.

28. Which FOUR of the following statements about Hyperthyroidism are CORRECT? Hyperthyroidism is more common in young male patients Hyperthyroidism is also known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis Hyperthyroidism is asscoiated with decreased metabolic rate Hyperthyroidism occurs due to underproduction of thyroid hormones Hyperthyroidism may be caused by a prostate cancer Grave's disease is a common cause of hyperthyroidism O Hyperthyroidism can be due to autoimmune disease involving autoantibodies against thyroperoxidase Levothyroxine is a first line therapy for hyperthyroidism Exopthalmos is sometimes a clincial feature of hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism can be due to autoimmune disease involving autoantibodies against TSH receptor O Methimazole (Carbimazole) is an effective therapy for hyperthyroidism Fatigue and low heart rate are clinical symptoms of hyperthyroidism

2) Both the nervous system and the endocrine system communicate with remote parts of the body, but they do so in very different ways. Why is muscular contraction under the control of the nervous system and not the endocrine system? Why is growth regulated by the endocrine system?
