a.

Summary Introduction

To design: A reflex map with feedback loops for hypercortisolism caused by an adrenal tumor.

Introduction: The main causes of hypercortisolism are an adrenal tumor, pituitary tumor, and excess secretion of cortisol.

b.

Summary Introduction

To design: A reflex map with feedback loops for hypercortisolism caused by a pituitary tumor.

Introduction: Hypercortisolism caused by a pituitary tumor is known as secondary hypercortisolism.

c.

Summary Introduction

To design: A reflex map with feedback loops for hyperthyroidism caused by a thyroid tumor.

Introduction: Hyperthyroidism refers to a condition in which an individual’s thyroid gland secretes too much thyroid hormone.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To design: A reflex map with feedback loops for hypothyroidism caused due to a pituitary problem.

Introduction: The failure of the pituitary gland to secrete TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) causes secondary hypothyroidism.
