some patients
secrete enough insulin, but insulin receptors on target cells cannot bind to it
many patients
can keep their blood sugar level within normal range by managing their diets and exercising, and do not require insulin injection

Thyroid gland
released
Calcitonin
-
stimulates
Ca2+ deposition in bones and decreases reabsorbtion of Ca2+ in kidneys and increases excretion of Ca2+ by urine
released
Thyroxine hormone

excessive
Hyperthyroidism
causes high body temperature, weight loss, irritability, and high blood pressure
-
low
Hypothyroidism,
causes weight gain, lethargy, and intolerance to cold
Goiter
thyroid gland becomes enlarged, iodine deficiency or tumors, the gland is referred to as a goiter

Parathyroid glands(4)
released
Parathyroid hormone(PTH)
deficiency
tetany
Low Ca+2 level increase excitability of nerve without rest and this results in continuous muscle contraction

The endocrine system secretes hormones that coordinate slower but longer acting responses including reproduction, development, energy metabolism, growth, and behavior .
Endocrine system is slower than nervous system because it takes time for a specific
hormone to reach its target tissue via blood stream
