parathyroid gland
Give this one a try later!
-4 glands
-secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH) - maintains calcium levels, vitamin D
activation, phosphate metabolism control
thyroid gland

, -produce and secrete TH (thyroxine/T4 and triiodothyronine/T3)
-increases metabolism
-releases TH from TSH from pituitary gland - dependent on iodine
-also secretes calcitonin
pituitary gland
Give this one a try later!
-"master gland"
-two parts : anterior pituitary and posterior pituitary
-anterior pituitary : hormones regulated by hypothalamus, hormones
released regulate other endocrine glands
-posterior pituitary : does not produce own hormones; stores ADH and
oxytocin from hypothalamus; releases stored hormones when told to by
hypothalamus
alterations and therapies of endocrine and metabolic disorders
etiology : changes in cortisol regulation

definitions
-symptoms result from excess or deficient secretion of cortisol from the
adrenal glands
-examples: addison disease , cushing syndrome
manifestations
-cortisol deficiency results in Addison disease, which is accompanied by
muscl eweakness, fatigue, weight loss, and other symptoms
-excess cortisol results in Cushing syndrome which is accompanied by a
moon face and central obesity along with others
