Endocrine System: 20. Secretion of Thyroid Gland

The thyroid gland secretes thyroxine at 93% and triiodothyronine at 7%. Signs of hyperthyroidism include weight loss, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and goiter. Parathyroid hormone raises blood calcium levels by stimulating calcium release from bone, intestines, and kidneys. Primary hyperparathyroidism is due to autonomous hypersecretion of PTH by the parathyroid gland. The adrenal glands are retroperitoneal organs located near the upper poles of the kidneys.

22. Parathyroid hormone raises blood Ca by acting on 3
organs:
Bone: main effect- stimulates osteoclasts -> bone
breaks down -> Ca released
Intestines: increases release of Ca from intestine
Kidney: stimulates excrete out of Ca from the kidney
tubules
Bone: main effect- stimulates osteoblasts -> bone breaks
down -> Ca released.
23.Abnormalities of parathyroid hormones are as fellow
a) Hyperparathyroidism, decrease amounts of
parathyroid hormone in the blood
b)Primary hyperparathyroidism is due to
autonomous, abnormal hypersecretion of PTH in
the parathyroid gland
c) Hyperparathyroidism most commonly due to
damage to or removal of parathyroid glands during
thyroid surgery
d)Secondary hyperparathyroidism is due to
autonomous, abnormal hypersecretion of PTH in the
parathyroid gland
