What do the hormones secreted by the thyroid and parathyroid gland affect? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Whole-body metabolism, cellular regulation, nutrition,
gas exchange, electrolyte balance, and excitable membrane activity.
Thyroid disorders - CORRECT ANSWER-Hyperthyroidism.
Hypothyroidism.
Thyroiditis.
Thyroid cancer.
Aspects of homeostasis affected by the thyroid gland - CORRECT ANSWER-
Increased HR.
Increased body temperature.
Increased BP.
Increased muscle tone.
Decreased weight.
Increased activity (enhanced energy, mental alertness, perspiration, movement
of food through GI tract, increased secretion of GH).
,Hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-Excessive thyroid hormone secretion
from the thyroid gland.
Results in an unhealthy increase in metabolic rate.
What causes hyperthyroidism? - CORRECT ANSWER-The most common cause
is Graves' disease.
Thyrotoxicosis - CORRECT ANSWER-Symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Negative nitrogen balance - CORRECT ANSWER-When protein breakdown
exceeds buildup, causing a net loss of body protein.
Leads to glucose tolerance, and hyperglycemia. Fat metabolism is increased
and body fat decreases.
Other potential causes of hyperthyroidism include: - CORRECT ANSWER-
Overactive nodules (lumps) on the thyroid gland.
Thyroiditis.
Use of certain medications which contain large amounts of iodine.
Taking too much synthetic thyroid hormone pills for management of
hypothyroidism.
Skin symptoms in hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-Diaphoresis,
fine/soft/sikly body hair, smooth/warm/moist skin, thinning of scalp hair.
Cardiopulmonary symptoms in hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-
Palpitations.
,Chest pain.
Increased systolic blood pressure.
Tachycardia.
Dysrhythmias.
Rapid, shallow respirations.
GI symptoms in hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-Weight loss.
Increased appetite.
Increased stools.
Neurologic symptoms in hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-Blurred or
double vision.
Eye fatigue.
Increased tears.
Injected conjunctivae.
Photophobia.
Exophthalmos.
Eyelid retraction, eyelid lag.
Globe lag.
Hyperactive DTR.
Tremors.
Insomnia.
Metabolic symptoms in hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-Increased basal
metabolic rate.
Heat intolerance.
Low-grade fever.
, Fatigue.
Psychological/Emotional symptoms in hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-
Decreased attention span.
Restlessness and irritability.
Emotional instability.
Manic behavior.
Reproductive symptoms in hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-
Amenorrhea.
Increased libido.
Other symptoms in hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-Goiter.
Wide-eyed or startled appearance (exophthalmos).
Enlarged spleen.
Muscle weakness and wasting.
Etiology and Genetic Risk for hyperthyroidism - CORRECT ANSWER-The most
common form is Graves' disease. Also called toxic diffuse goiter.
Graves' Disesase - CORRECT ANSWER-An autoimmune disorder resulting
from Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis - CORRECT ANSWER-Results in the production of
autoantibodies to different substances and structures within the thyroid gland.
In Graves' disease, these antibodies (thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins)
attach to the TSH receptors on the thyroid gland.
