, type 1 diabetes - CORRECT ANSWERS-Diabetes of a form that usually develops
during childhood or adolescence and is characterized by a severe deficiency of insulin,
leading to high blood glucose levels. polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia.
type 2 diabetes - CORRECT ANSWERS-Diabetes of a form that develops especially in
adults and most often obese individuals and that is characterized by high blood glucose
resulting from impaired insulin utilization coupled with the body's inability to compensate
with increased insulin production.
Pathophysiology of diabetes - CORRECT ANSWERS-The pathophysiology of diabetes
involves plasm concentrations of glucose signaling the central nervous system to
mobilize energy reserves. It is based on cerebral blood flow and tissue integrity, arterial
plasma glucose, the speed that plasma glucose concentrations fall, and other available
metabolic fuels. Low plasma glucose causes a surge in autonomic activity.
acromegaly - CORRECT ANSWERS-abnormal enlargement of the extremities. occurs
in adults
hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWERS-excessive activity of the thyroid gland-
>thyroxine
ØInsomnia, restlessness, tremor, irritability, palpitations, heat intolerance, diaphoresis,
diarrhea, inability to concentrate that interferes with work performance; enlarged thyroid
gland
ØIncreased basal metabolic rate leads to weight loss, although appetite and dietary
intake increase.
hyperperathyroidism - CORRECT ANSWERS-Hyperparathyroidism is a condition in
which one or more of the parathyroid glands become overactive and secrete too much
parathyroid hormone (PTH). This causes the levels of calcium in the blood to rise, a
condition known as hypercalcemia.
childhood gigantism - CORRECT ANSWERS-pituitary gigantism when your child's
pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone, which is also known as somatotropin.
if not treated they will have a lower life expectancy and weak limbs. risk of cardiomegaly
and heart failure
hypothyroidism - CORRECT ANSWERS-A disorder caused by a thyroid gland that is
slower and less productive than normal
ØDecreased basal metabolic rate
ØWeakness, lethargy, cold intolerance, decreased appetite
ØBradycardia, narrowed pulse pressure, and mild/moderate weight gain
ØElevated serum cholesterol and triglycerides
ØEnlarged thyroid, dry skin, constipation
ØDepression, difficulties with concentration/memory
ØLoss of eyebrow
Menstrual irregularity
