development, produced in adrenal cortex
Epinepherine/ Norepinepherine (NE) - Hormone that increases heart rate & respiratory rate,
breakdown glycogen & fa3y acids, produced in adrenal medulla
Testosterone - Hormone that s mulates muscle growth, thickening of vocal cords, increased
facial & pubic hair, sperm development, produced in male gonads (testes)

development in females, produced in female gonads (ovaries)
Melatonin - Hormone that regulate sleep/wake cycles, produced in pineal gland
Pituitary Dwarfism - Hyposecre on of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland
BEFORE puberty, results in undergrowth of body structures
Gigan sm - Hypersecre on of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland during
childhood, results in excess growth of all body structures
Acromegaly - Hypersecre on of growth hormone (GH) a8er puberty, over growth of so8 ssue
Diabetes insipidus - Hyposecre on of an -diure c hormone (ADH) from posterior pituitary
gland, results in excessive thirst, frequent urina on and large volumes of urine

AT birth, abnormal development & mental retarda on if untreated, treated with T4
Myxedema (secondary) hypothyroidism - Hyposecre on of thyroid - s mula ng hormone (TSH)
& thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), occurs AFTER birth, leads to puffiness in face, slow
heart rate, sensi vity to hot & cold, muscle weakness
Hashimoto's disease - Hyposecre on of T3/T4, an bodies a3ack proteins in thyroid, leads to
destruc on of gland
, Hyperthyroidism - Hypersecre on of T4
Graves disease - Hyperthyroidism disorder, an bodies bind to thyroid - s mula ng hormone
(TSH) receptor & overs mulate thyroid by mimicking TSH func ons

thyroid surgery damage, results in lowered blood calcium levels & nerve/muscle cell func on,
treated with calcium & vitamin D supplements
Hypoglycemia - Lower than normal blood glucose levels
Hyperglycemia - Higher than normal blood glucose levels
Diabetes mellitus - Elevated blood glucose levels & impaired glucose tolerance, causes glucose
in urine, excessive thirst, excessive hunger & ea ng, frequent urina on
Type I Diabetes Mellitus - Hyposecre on of insulin caused by destruc on of beta cells, develops
early in life, treated by administra on of insulin
Type II Diabetes Mellitus - Decreased sensi vity of target cells to insulin, treated with
medica ons that s mulate insulin secre on
Gesta onal diabetes - Hormones released by placenta block maternal insulin ac on,
hypersecre on of insulin by fetus, can cause complica ons during delivery & low blood glucose
at birth, risk for obesity & type II diabetes in mother, treated by administra on of insulin
Cushing's syndrome - Hypersecre on of adrenocor cotropic hormone (ACTH), caused by
tumors in adrenal/pituitary gland or high doses cor sone treatment, results in round, flushed
face with humped back & hanging abdomen, increased blood pressure, blood glucose,
