1QQ # 4: Answer one. • Starting with a drop in blood pressure, diagram the sequence of events that begins with the secretion of renin and ends with responses that act to restore blood pressure toward normal. • A) What gland is the source of Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone? B) What are the target cells of TRH? C) How does TRH get to its target cells (be specific.) D) What do the target cells of TRH do when stimulated by TRH? E) How is the secretion of TRH affected as the concentration of T4 increases?
Thyroid Gland S1 • TH =T3 and T4 Fenestrated Capillary (typical of endocrine glands)
S2 Synthesis, Storage and Secretion of T3 and T4Roles of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Tropic: directs controls, regulates Trophic: growth TH increases cell metabolism & heat production (BMR)
TRH TSH T3 & T4 S 4 EndemicGoiter • Symptoms of hypothyroidism • Levels of TSH and TH? • Explain enlarged thyroid gland • Cause: Inadequate dietary intake of iodine • Treatment? Goiter Elevates basal metabolic rate,potentiates response to EPI If hypothyroid during pregnancy…cretinism = congenital hypothyroidism

⇩ ⇩ The cause: Abnormal Immunoglobulins in patient activate TSH receptors on Thyroid cells ⇧Metabolic rate ⇧sensitivity to EPI (up-regulation of adrenergic receptors) ⇧Temperature ⇧Heart rate and ⇧Blood Pressure Grave’s Disease S 6 Blood test:TSH levels low TH levels high TRH from Hypothal. TSH from Ant. Pit. T3 and T4 from Thyroid gland ⇧Lipolysis and fuel mobilization Weight loss
Grave’s Disease S 7 Treatment: Radioactive Iodine Mechanism:……..

Clinical example: treatment of chronic inflammation (e.g. arthritis) can lead to Cushing’s Syndrome! ⇧Cortisol secretion from Adrenal Cortex Cushing’s Syndrome Excess Cortisol from 1) adrenal cortex tumor (primary) or 2) hypersecretion of ACTH from anterior pituitary (secondary)
