What does the thyroid gland secrete? - ✔✔ T3
T4
Calcitonin
What does T3, T4 regulate and where is it secreted from? - ✔✔ It targets cells
... [Show More] of the body; increases metabolic rate & increases response to catecholamines
Secreted by the thyroid gland
High T3, T4 = Increased metabolism
Low T3, T4 = Decreased metabolism
What does calcitonin regulate and where is it secreted from? - ✔✔ Calcitonin assists with decreasing osteoclastic activity and reabsorption of calcium in the kidney & intestines
Secreted by the thyroid gland
What does the parathyroid gland secrete? - ✔✔ parathyroid hormone (PTH)
What does parathyroid hormone regulate and where is it secreted from? - ✔✔ PTH assists with increasing osteoclastic activity and reabsorption of calcium in the intestines and kidneys
What does the adrenal medulla secrete? - ✔✔ Catecholamines (epinephrine/norepinephrine)
What do catecholamines do and where is it secreted? - ✔✔ Mimics action of sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight response)
Secreted by the adrenal medulla
What does the adrenal cortex secrete? - ✔✔ Glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids
What do glucocorticoids & mineralocorticoids do and where is it secreted? - ✔✔ Glucocorticoids promote glucogenesis (decreases glucose use), promotes protein catabolism, & suppresses inflammatory response
Mineralocorticoids stimulates the DCT and collecting ducts of the kidney with aldosterone *(promotes water reabsorption and potassium excretion)*
Secreted by adrenal cortex
What does the Anterior Pituitary Gland secrete? - ✔✔ Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
Follicle Stimulating hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Growth Hormone (GH)
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Prolactin
Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)
What does adrenocorticotropic hormone do & where is it secreted? - ✔✔ It stimulates the adrenal glands to increase glucocorticoids & mineralocorticoids..
Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland
What does Follicle-Stimulating hormone do & where is it secreted? - ✔✔ It stimulates the ovaries to secrete estrogen & stimulate the testes to increase sperm production
Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland
What does Luteinizing Hormone do & where is it secreted? - ✔✔ It stimulates secretion of estrogen/progesterone, ovulation & testosterone production
Secreted by anterior pituitary gland
What does Growth Hormone do & where is it secreted? - ✔✔ It targets tissues & bones, facilitates growth of bones/tissues through protein synthesis, fat metabolism, and *insulin antagonism*
Secreted by anterior pituitary gland
What does thyroid stimulating hormone do & where is it secreted? - ✔✔ It targets the thyroid gland and increases T3 & T4
Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland
What does prolactin do & where is it secreted? - ✔✔ Targets mammary glands & stimulates production of breast milk
Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland
What does melanocyte-stimulating hormone do & where is it secreted? - ✔✔ It targets melanocytes & increases pigmentation of skin/hair
Secreted by anterior pituitary gland
What does the posterior pituitary gland secrete? - ✔✔ Vasopressin (ADH)
Oxytocin
What does vasopressin (adh) do & where is it secreted? - ✔✔ Targets DCT / collecting ducts in kidneys to increase water absorption.
Secreted by posterior pituitary gland
What does oxytocin do & where is it secreted? - ✔✔ Targets uterus / mammary glands and stimulates uterine contractions in labor as well as milk production
Secreted by posterior pituitary gland
•A 45-year-old male patient with suspected acromegaly is seen at the clinic. To assist in making the diagnosis, which question should the nurse ask?
a."Have you had a recent head injury?"
b."Do you have to wear larger shoes now?"
c."Is there a family history of acromegaly?"
d."Are you experiencing tremors or anxiety?" - ✔✔ B. "Do you have to wear larger shoes now?"
Acromegaly causes an increase in ring size, shoe size, hat size, glove size, etc.
The nurse is planning postoperative care for a patient who is being admitted to the surgical unit form the recovery room after transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary tumor. Which nursing action would be included?
a.Palpate extremities for edema.
b.Measure urine volume every hour.
c. Check hematocrit every 2 hours for 8 hours.
d.Monitor continuous pulse oximetry for 24 hours. - ✔✔ B. Measure urine volume every hour
Potential of disruption of the posterior pituitary gland (which produces anti-diuretic hormone)
