The Endocrine System.[edit | edit source]
Endocrine and metabolic diseases span a vast range of conditions. The endocrine system works via chemical messages (hormones) secreted from glands directly into the circulatory system to regulate the function of distant target organ. A negative feedback loop works to maintain the release of these hormones and so maintain homeostasis ie the state of steady conditions vital for life.[1]
The diagram on the right shows the glands of the endocrine system:Pineal gland; Thalamus; Pituitary gland;Thyroid: Adrenal glands: Pancreas: Uterus: Ovaries: Testes.
The endocrine system involves many organ systems and hormones, many of which are still being investigated.[3]
Endocrine Disorders- pathological process[edit | edit source]
A mal function in the endocrine systems (either the glands, hormones, receptors or organs impacted by hormones) can cause an endocrine disorder. The various dysfunctions can cause wide-ranging effects on the body.The disorders arise from the multitude of effects caused by too little or too much secretion of a hormone, too little or too much action of a hormone, or problems with receiving the hormone.[1] A metabolic disorders occurs when an improper level of a hormones alters the body’s metabolism and affect its function (diabetes is an example).[4]
Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]
Due to the complex and interconnected nature of the endocrine system, a wide range of conditions with distinct clinical presentations, can result in endocrine disorders.
including:
- Addison's Disease
- Cushing's Syndrome
- Diabetes
- Gout
- Hyperthyroidism
- Hypothyroidism
- Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Paget's Disease
Management / Interventions[edit | edit source]
see individual disorders above and the managements and physiotherapy involved.
