When serum glucose decreases, the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, resulting in a surge of epinephrine and norepinephrine; this response causes sweating, tremors, tachycardia, palpitations, nervousness, and hunger. Increased thirst (polydipsia) occurs in response to the osmotic diuresis associated with hyperglycemia. The ketosis and acidosis of diabetic ketoacidosis lead to gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, anorexia, vomiting, and abdominal cramping. Sets with similar termsWhich hormone binds to the receptor site on the surface of a target cell?Steroid based hormones bind to the receptor in the nucleus of the target cell, but an amino acid based hormone doesn't enter the cell because it binds to the receptors on the surface of the cell. What other organs or tissues secrete hormones other than the endocrine glands? Select all that apply.
Which cells does the nurse identify as producing Thyrocalcitonin hormone?The thyroid gland, located in the anterior neck, consists of two types of cells: follicular cells, which produce T3 and T4, and parafollicular cells, which produce and secrete thyrocalcitonin (also called calcitonin).
Which hormone secretion does the nurse state is an example of a positive feedback mechanism?Oxytocin production and secretion is controlled by a positive feedback mechanism where release of the hormone causes an action that stimulates more of its own release. For example, when contraction of the uterus starts during childbirth, oxytocin is released.
Which does the nurse State is a secondary cause of adrenal insufficiency?Secondary adrenal insufficiency results from hypopituitarism due to hypothalamic-pituitary disease or suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis by steroid therapy.
