HOSA Pathophysiology Endocrine Questions and Answers
Rated A
hyperpituitarism - -Excessive secretion of
one or multiple hormones (often GH). Disorders
and symptoms dependant on hormones affected MSH - -stimulates skin pigmentation
gigantism - -Abnormal overgrowth of the Vsopressin ADH - -water reabsorbtion by
entire body that is caused by excessive secretion renal tubules
of the growth hormone before puberty
Oxytocin - -uterine contractions; ejection of
acromegaly - -hypersecretion of GH after milk;
puberty
T4 and T3 - -regulates rate of cellular
hypopituitarism - -condition of diminished metabolism
hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary
gland
Calcition - -retention of calcium and
phosphorus in bone
Growth hormone - -promotes bone/tissue
gorwth
PTH - -elevates calcium level
Thyrotropin (TSH) - -stimulates thyroid
gland and production of thyroxine Minealocorticoids *aldosterone - -retention
of Na by kidneys; electrolyte / fluid homeostasis
ACTH (corticotropin - -stimulates adrenal
cortex to produce glucocorticoids Glucocorticoids (coritsol) - -regulate
metabolism of carbs, proteins and fats
FSH Follicle-stimulating - -initiates growth
of over; spermatogenesis in testes Epinepherine - -fight or flight response
Luteinizing LH - -causes Insulin - -maintains proper blood glucose
ovulation;stimulates ovaries to produce estrogen level
and progesterone;stimulates testosterone
development
Glucagon - -increases concentration of
glucose in blood
Prolacitn - -breast development and
formation of milk
