"-trophic" Correct Answers something that
stimulates growth of the cortex.
2 dominant Sx of Graves disease: Correct Answers
1. pretibial myxedema - thickness in skin, non-
pitting/boggy edema in shins d/t increases
hyaluronic acid being deposited in the dermis.
2. exophthalmos - bugging of the eyes d/t increase
mass and pressure in the eye socket/ball. Causes
expansion. In normal position though.

Answers diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, &
neuropathies.
5 functions of the endocrine system.
the first is differentiation of ___________ and
____________ in fetus. Correct Answers
differentiation of reproductive system & CNS in
fetus
,5 types of cell surface receptor-associated
disorders: Correct Answers 1. decrease in # of
receptors.
2. impaired receptor fxn.
3. antibodies against specific receptors present.
4. antibodies that mimic hormone action.
5. unusual expression of receptor fxn.
A C cell can be distinguished from surrounding
follicular cells by: Correct Answers its pale
cytoplasm.
A decrease in GH with aging causes: Correct
Answers drop in lean body mass, drop in
metabolism. Increases fat and decreases the ability
to manage the cold.
A decrease in TH with aging causes Correct
Answers decreases metabolism and weight loss.
Increases cold sensitivity and decrease amount of
internal heat.
A dx of DM is based on: Correct Answers 1.
glycosylated Hgb (HgA1C) levels.
2. fasting plasma glucose (FPG) lvls.
3. 2 hour plasma glucose during oral glucose
tolerance testing (OGTT).
Abnormalities in endocrine function may be caused
by: Correct Answers hypersecretion or
,hyposecretion of hormones causing alterations in
normal hormone levels.
Acute complications of DM include: Correct
Answers 1. hypoglycemia.
2. DKA.
3. hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic
syndrome (HHNKS).
Addisionian crisis is caused by: Correct Answers
difficulty managing stress.
addisions disease is an insufficiency of: Correct
Answers cortisol.
Adrenal medulla hyperfunction is caused by:
Correct Answers tumors derived from the
chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla.
Age-related changes in adrenal function include:
Correct Answers 1. decreased clearance of
glucocorticoids.
2. a decrease in the levels of adrenal androgens.
Aldosterone is secreted when:
what does it cause? Correct Answers low blood
volumes are senses.
, renin from the kidneys causes angiotensinogen to
convert angiotensin I. It travels to the lungs to
convert into angiotensin II.
Has multiple effects to increase BP and production
of aldosterone.
Aldosterone retains: Correct Answers sodium.
alpha cells secrete: Correct Answers glucagon.
Alterations of adrenal fxn include: Correct Answers
1. disorders of the adrenal cortex.
2. d/o of adrenal medulla.
Alterations of parathyroid function include: Correct
Answers 1. hyperparathyroidism.
2. hypoparathyroidism.
Alterations of the hypothalamic-pituitary system
can be caused by: Correct Answers tumor,
ischemia, TBI.
amylin delays? Correct Answers nutrient uptake
as it decreases transit of food products from the
stomach to the duodenum, and decreases
contractility in the stomach.
Amylin suppresses __________________ secretion.
Correct Answers glucagon.
