First Aid
What to do
Critical
Results from under secretion of GH that can be caused from a tumor, infection, genetic factors, or injury
Characterized by small body size, short extremities, and lack of sexual development, mental development is normal
If caught early injections of GH for 5 or more years
S/s
Decreased amount of Vasopression
Low levels of ADH prevents water from being absorbed in the kidneys
S/SX- Polyuria, polydipsia, dehydration, weakness, constipation, and dry skin
Treatment- Injections of ADH
S/S
Enlargement of the thyroid gland caused by hyperactive thyroid, an iodine deficiency, an over secretion of TSH on part of the pituitary gland
S/SX- Choking sensation, dysphagia, cough
Eliminate the cause- surgery may be required
Dislocation
Overactive thyroid which causes increased production of thyroid hormones and increases your metabolic rate
Extreme nervousness, tremors, irritability, rapid pulse, diarrhea, diaphoresis, heart intolerance, polydipsia goiter formation- hypertension, extreme appetite with wt loss
Treatment- Radiation to destroy thyroid, or thyroidectomy
Sprang
Sever form of hyperthroidism
More common in women
Strained intense expression, exophthalmia, goiter, emotional instability, tachycardia, tremendous appetite with wt loss

Myxedema
Occurs later in childhood- adulthood, coarse, dry skin, slow mental function, fatigue, weakness, intolerance to cold, wt gain, edema, puffy eyes and a slow pulse
Hyperparathyroidism
Overproduction of Para hormone
Results in hypercalcemia which leads to kidney stones, GI disorders
Cold
Strain
Synthesizes hormones that regulate the bodies metabolism and control the level of calcium and the blood
T3, T4, calcium
Located neck
Requires iodine from food intake
Burns
Attaches to thyroid glands
regulate amount of calcium in the blood
Stimulates bone cells to break down bone tissue and release calcium and phosphates into the blood, causing kidneys to conserve and reabsorb calcium
Fracture
located above the kidneys often called suprarenal glands
Each gland has 2 parts
Cortex and medulla
secrets streios hormones which are classified into 3 groups
laseradion
Located behind the stomach
Both and exocrine and endocrine gland
Treatment
Located in the brain
Exact function is unknown
Secretes 3 hormones
Adrenogomerulotropin
Sterotonin
melatonin
Puncture
Temporary endocrine gland produced during pregnancy
acts as a link between mom and child, provides nutrition for developing infant, and promotes lo
What to recognize
Hormones that are secreted directly into the bloodstream
Hormones
Chemical substances
Transported throughout the body by bloodstream and perform many functions
Stimulate exocrine glands to produce secretions and other endocrine glands
Regulates growth and development and metabolism
maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and control various sex processes
Wounds
Female sex glands, located in the pelvis secrets hormones that regulate menstruation and secondary sexual characteristics
Testes
Male sex glands located in the scrotal sac. produce hormones that regulate secondary sexual characteristics
Group of ductless glands
The endocrine system consists of pituitary gland, parathyroid gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thymus, pineal gland, and the placenta
