The endocrine system is made up of glands that secrete hormones which affect organs, muscles, and other glands. Key glands include the pineal gland, which regulates circadian rhythms; the hypothalamus, which controls other endocrine glands; and the pituitary gland, known as the "master gland." The pituitary gland regulates growth and metabolism through hormones like growth hormone, while other important glands are the thyroid, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. These glands work together to regulate processes throughout the body like metabolism, stress response, sexual development, and more.

The nervous system with questions
The nervous system is responsible for allowing interaction with the environment, regulating internal organs, and controlling other body systems. It is comprised of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system includes somatic nerves for voluntary control of skeletal muscles and the autonomic nervous system for involuntary control of internal organs. Neurons are the basic functional units that transmit signals electrically and chemically between organs, tissues, and the brain. The brain is divided into sections that each control different functions like thinking, movement coordination, vital functions, homeostasis, and sensory processing.
Human digestive system
The human digestive system breaks down food through both mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth through chewing, while chemical digestion involves enzymes in saliva, gastric juice, and the pancreas. Food moves through the esophagus to the stomach and then into the small intestine, where most digestion occurs. Remaining waste moves into the large intestine to be excreted. Maintaining a healthy digestive system is important for nutrient absorption and preventing issues like acid reflux or constipation.

The document summarizes the key differences between the male and female reproductive systems. It describes the main organs in each system, including the penis, testicles, and epididymis in males, and the vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes in females. It also outlines some of the main secondary sex characteristics that develop during puberty in males and females.
Endocrine system
The endocrine system controls and coordinates bodily functions through glands and hormones. Glands release hormones like insulin, adrenaline, thyroxin, testosterone and estrogen directly into the bloodstream to target cells and regulate processes throughout the body. Hormones control metabolism, development, and responses to stress while endocrine effects are typically slower and longer-lasting compared to the nervous system. Key endocrine glands include the thyroid, pancreas, ovaries and testes.
Homeostasis
The document discusses homeostasis, which is the maintenance of a constant internal environment in the body. It provides examples of homeostasis mechanisms for controlling body temperature, blood glucose levels, and water levels. Negative feedback loops work to maintain a stable internal state when environmental conditions change. The kidneys and hormones like insulin and glucagon help regulate glucose and water levels. Plants also use mechanisms like stomata to control water balance and maintain homeostasis.

Goitre
This document defines goiter as an enlarged thyroid gland and provides an overview of the condition. It discusses the pathophysiology, classifications, presentations, investigations, differential diagnoses, treatments, and prognosis of goiter. Goiter is most commonly caused by iodine deficiency worldwide and by Hashimoto's thyroiditis in industrialized countries. Investigations may include laboratory tests, ultrasound, CT scans, and biopsies. Treatments include medication, surgery, radioactive iodine, and minimally invasive procedures. Complications can include hypothyroidism, bleeding, nerve injury, and hyperthyroid storm. Benign goiters generally have a good prognosis.
Hypothyroidism
This document discusses the diagnosis and management of primary hypothyroidism in a 32-year-old woman. She was found to have a very high TSH level of over 100 IU/ml and a low free T4, consistent with overt primary hypothyroidism. Further testing found she had a family history of hypothyroidism and goiter. She was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis, a common cause of transient hypothyroidism after delivery. Treatment involves thyroid hormone replacement with levothyroxine titrated based on follow-up TSH levels, with the goal of achieving a normal TSH level.
Goitre final year mbbs lecture
This document discusses the thyroid gland and various thyroid conditions. It begins by explaining what the thyroid gland does, producing hormones that regulate metabolism. It then discusses different types of goiters (enlargement of the thyroid gland), including diffuse goiter, multi-nodular goiter, and solitary thyroid nodules. For each condition, it covers causes, symptoms, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment approaches. Key points are that toxic goiters are rarely malignant, solitary nodules need evaluation to exclude cancer, and surgery is rarely needed for autoimmune or inflammatory thyroid diseases.
Mechanism & action hormone
1) Hormones are organic substances that regulate growth, metabolism and other functions by acting as biochemical messengers. They can be classified based on their chemical composition and target organs.
2) Hormone action involves processes like synergism, permissiveness, antagonism and feedback loops. Lipid-soluble hormones like steroids directly enter cells and activate genes, while water-soluble hormones trigger intracellular signaling cascades.
3) The document discusses the mechanisms and characteristics of hormone action, including the different classes of receptors, signal amplification pathways, and how lipid-soluble and water-soluble hormones elicit their effects on target cells and tissues. Negative and positive feedback loops help regulate hormone secretion.
Hypothyroidism --a clinical perspective
The document discusses a case of subclinical hypothyroidism in a 70-year-old woman named Ayesha who presented with fatigue, dry skin, and difficulty losing weight.

The pineal gland releases melatonin to control circadian rhythms. The thyroid produces hormones like thyroxine and triiodothyronine that control metabolism. The parathyroids regulate calcium levels through parathormone. The adrenal cortex releases steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone that help the body respond to stress.
Hormonal system
The hormonal system (also called the endocrine system) is a network of glands and organs in the body that produce hormones.
