D adv Ch. 40: Endocrine Function

This or That? Choose the correct releasing gland for each hormone. Releasing gland of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) a. POSTERIOR PITUITARY b. ANTERIOR PITUITARY c. THYROID

c. THYROID Rationale: T3 and T4 are released from the thyroid gland to the cells of the body to increase metabolic rate and response of catecholamines.

This or That? Choose the correct releasing gland for each hormone. Releasing gland of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) a. HYPOTHALAMUS b. ANTERIOR PITUITARY c. POSTERIOR PITUITARY

b. ANTERIOR PITUITARY Rationale: TSH is released from the anterior pituitary, targeting the thyroid glands to release T3 and T4.

This or That? Choose the correct releasing gland for each hormone. Releasing gland of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) a. ANTERIOR PITUITARY b. HYPOTHALAMUS c. POSTERIOR PITUITARY

b. HYPOTHALAMUS Rationale: CRH is released from the hypothalamus, targeting the anterior pituitary gland to release ACTH.

Identify the lab abnormalities found with hypercortisolism. Select all that apply. a. Hypercalcemia b. Hyperglycemia c. Elevated sodium level d. Hyperkalemia e. Hypermagnesemia

b. Hyperglycemia c. Elevated sodium level

The nurse is caring for a client with excess catecholamine. What assessment changes should be anticipated? Select all that apply. a. Bradycardia b. Hypoactive bowel sounds c. Diaphoresis d. Pupil constriction e. Hypertension

b. Hypoactive bowel sounds c. Diaphoresis e. Hypertension

This or That? Choose the correct releasing gland for each hormone. Releasing gland of testosterone a. HYPOTHALAMUS b. TESTES c. OVARIES

b. TESTES Rationale: Testosterone is released from the testes, targeting male reproductive organs to promote maturation of sex organs, sperm production, and development of secondary sex characters.

This or That? Choose the correct releasing gland for each hormone. Releasing gland of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) a. ADRENAL CORTEX b. ADRENAL MEDULLA c. ANTERIOR PITUITARY

c. ANTERIOR PITUITARY Rationale: FSH is released from the anterior pituitary, targeting the ovaries to stimulate maturation of ovarian follicles, ovulation, and estrogen secretion.

When a client is experiencing a lack of cortisol, which glands could be the cause? Select all that apply. a. Adrenal gland b. Parathyroid gland c. Hypothalamus d. Pituitary gland e. Thyroid gland

a. Adrenal gland c. Hypothalamus d. Pituitary gland

Identify the hormones secreted from the adrenal cortex. Select all that apply. a. Glucocorticoids b. Adrenocorticotropic hormone c. Catecholamines d. Mineralocorticoids e. Corticotropin-releasing hormone

a. Glucocorticoids d. Mineralocorticoids

The functioning of the endocrine system works on what type of system? a. Negative feedback system b. Positive feedback system c. Alternating negative and positive feedback system d. Closed loop system

a. Negative feedback system

This or That? Choose the correct releasing gland for each hormone. Releasing gland of glucagon a. PANCREAS b. LIVER c. HYPOTHALAMUS

a. PANCREAS Rationale: Glucagon is released from the pancreas, targeting the liver and muscles to promote glycogenolysis which increases blood glucose levels.

This or That? Choose the correct releasing gland for each hormone. Releasing gland of insulin a. PANCREAS b. LIVER c. HYPOTHALAMUS

a. PANCREAS Rationale: Insulin is release from the pancreas, targeting the cells of the body to lower blood glucose levels by moving glucose into the cells.

This or That? Choose the correct releasing gland for each hormone. Releasing gland of parathyroid hormone (PTH) a. PARATHYROID b. ANTERIOR PITUITARY c. HYPOTHALAMUS

a. PARATHYROID Rationale: PTH is released from the parathyroid gland targeting bones, kidney, and intestines to increase osteoclastic activity, reabsorption of calcium, and gastrointestinal reabsorption of calcium.

The client is experiencing problems with reabsorption of calcium. Which endocrine gland requires evaluation? a. Parathyroid gland b. Pancreas c. Hypothalamus d. Anterior pituitary

a. Parathyroid gland

What is it referred to when an endocrine gland itself causes the hypersecretion or hyposecretion of a hormone? a. Primary disorder b. Secondary disorder c. Tertiary disorder d. Organ disorder

a. Primary disorder

The client experiencing increased aldosteronism will experience which electrolyte abnormality? a. Sodium reabsorption b. Potassium reabsorption c. Glucose loss d. Magnesium loss

a. Sodium reabsorption

The nurse is caring for a client with decreased secretion of the anterior pituitary gland. What abnormalities should the nurse expect to find? Select all that apply. a. Symptoms of Addison's disease b. Symptoms of Cushing's disease c. Symptoms of hypothyroidism d. Symptoms of SIADH e. Symptoms of diabetes insipidus

a. Symptoms of Addison's disease d. Symptoms of SIADH

Which hormones of the body function to maintain the metabolism of the body? Select all that apply. a. T3 b. PTH c. T4 d. FSH e. CRH

a. T3 c. T4

This or That? Choose the correct releasing gland for each hormone. Releasing gland of cortisol. a. ANTERIOR PITUITARY b. ADRENAL CORTEX c. ADRENAL MEDULLA

b. ADRENAL CORTEX Rationale: Cortisol (glucocorticoids) are released from the adrenal cortex, targeting the liver, cells, and bone marrow. It causes the liver to increase blood glucose levels. In the cells it decreases glucose use, promotes protein catabolism, and promotes fat synthesis. In the bone marrow it suppresses inflammatory processes.
