-constipation
serious clinical manifestations of Hypocalcemia
-chvostek sign (tap in front of tragus)
- trousseau sign (tourniquet)
Hormones
-chemicals that travel through the bloodstream
-they find their target organs and have an effect on those organs
functions of the endocrine system
-Differentiation of reproductive and CNS in fetus
-Stimulation of growth and development
-Coordination of the male and female reproductive system

negative feedback system
- functions like a thermostat
, -when there is an excess or deficiency of hormones in the body,

the cascade of producing the hormone.
thyroid hormone
A great example of a negative feedback system is the
______________
hypothalamic-pituitary axis
-interconnection of the hypothalamus and pituitary to regulate
the levels of certain endocrine hormones through a complex
series of negative feedback systems
-keeps the hormones in a very narrow range
Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH)
-excess ADH leading to excess free water retention
-weight gain
-low sodium levels due to dilution of normal sodium
concentration by excess water
clinical manifestations of SIADH
1. Characterized by hyponatremia, and water retention that
regresses to water intoxication
2. Most s/s appear when serum levels have fallen below
125mEq/L
3. S/s include: n/v, irritability, confusion, tremors, seizures,
