, What are some causes of Excessive stimulation and hyperplasia of the
hyperfunction of endocrine gland and hormone-producing tumor of
endocrine glands? the gland
What are primaryDisorders that originate in the target gland disorders of
endocrineresponsible for producing the hormone (eg.
glands?thyroid gland)
Disorders where the target gland is essentially
What are the secondary normal, but its function is altered by defective
disorders of endocrine levels of stimulating hormones from the pituitary
glands? system (eg. TSH)
Disorders that result from hypothalamic
What are the tertiary dysfunction: releasing hormones (both the
disorders of endocrine pituitary and target organ are under-stimulated)
glands?
(eg. TRH)
What is theIts the communication system between the 2
hypothalamus- pituitaryorgan systems axis?
How does theReleasing hormones from the hypothalamus tells
hypothalamus-pituitarythe pituitary what to release into the blood axis work?
What are trophicHormones that stimulate or inhibit other hormones?hormones.
What are the functions of They are produced by the pituitary gland and tell
trophic hormones? specific glands to grow and produce their hormones
What are adenomas? Benign tumors are the most common cause of pituitary
disorders
