2
Hormone: Thyroxin Overactivity (Too much hormone) - Increased metabolic rate - Increased food intake but loss of weight - Hyperthyroidism (Grave’s disease) - Goitre (swollen neck, maybe bulging eyes)
3
Grave’s disease
4
Hormone: Thyroxin Underactivity (Not enough hormone) - Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s disease) - Reduced metabolic rate - Low food intake but gain of weight - Myxoedema (when onset in adults) - Cretinism- stunted mental and physical growth (in children) - Can also cause a goitre
5
Puffiness (swelling) Fatigue Obesity Dry, thickened skin Mental impairment Thin, brittle hair
6
Protuberant abdomen Short Stature Infertility Neurological impairment Constant Fatigue Obesity
7
Hormone: Calcitonin Overactivity - Increased Bone Ca, decreased Blood Ca - Tetany (nerve problems leading to muscle spasms or cramps) Underactivity - Increase Blood Ca, decreased Bone Ca - Osteoporosis (brittle bones) - Kidney stones
8
Hormone: Parathormone (PTH) Underactivity - Low Blood calcium, High Bone Ca - Tetany Overactivity - High Blood calcium, Low Bone Ca - Osteoporosis
9
Hormone: Insulin Overactivity - Low blood sugar level ( ↓BSL) - Hypoglycemia Underactivity - High blood sugar level ( ↑BSL) - Hyperglycemia - Diabetes
10
Hormone: Glucagon Overactivity - High blood sugar level ( ↑BSL) - Diabetes Underactivity - Low blood sugar level ( ↓BSL) - Hyper insulinism
11
Hormone: Growth Hormone Overactive - Giantism (children - very tall) - Acromegaly (adults - bones & skin thicken) Underactive - Dwarfism (very short)
12
The man holding the baby in the photo is 8 ft, 2.5 inches tall
14
Dwarfism occurs when there is short supply of GH in childhood. There are two types of dwarfism – Lorrain and Frohlich’s
15
Overactive Goitre Hyperthyroidism Grave’s Disease Underactive Goitre Hypothyroidism Hashimoto’s Disease Myxoedema (adults) Cretinism (kids)
16
Overactive Tetany Underactive Kidney Stones Osteoporosis
17
Overactive Kidney Stones Osteoporosis Underactive Tetany
18
Overactive Hypoglycemia Hyperinsulinism (insulin shock) Underactive Hyperglycemia Diabetes
19
Calcitonin –Parathormone - Over Reactivity Under Reactivity Blood Ca Tetany Osteoporosis Kidney Stones Osteoporosis Kidney Stones Blood Ca
20
Overactive Hyperglycemia Diabetes Underactive Hypoglycemia Hyperinsulinism
21
Insulin –Glucagon - Over Reactivity Under Reactivity BSL Hyperglycemia Diabetes BSL Hyperglycemia Diabetes Hypoglycemia BSL Hypoglycemia BSL
22
Overactive Giantism (children) Acromegaly (adults) Underactive Dwarfism (Frohlich’s and Lorrain)
23
Overactive Skin darkens Under active Skin will not darken Most severe condition is albinism
24
Overactive Unknown Underactive Sterility
25
Overactive Cushing’s Syndrome Underactive Addison’s Disease Decreased cortisol and/or aldosterone production
