    addison's disease
  3. hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary, essential for growth n development
    adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
  4. hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex; stimulate activity of accessory male sex organs and development of male sex characteristics
  5. group of symptoms produced by an excess of free circulating cortisolfrom the adrenal cortex, characterized by trunkal obesity, moon face, acne, abdominal striae, and HTN
    Cushing's syndrome
  6. a form of hyperthyroidism, characterised by diffuse goiter and exophthalmos
    Grave's disease
  7. enlargement of the thyroid gland, usually caused by an iodine-deficient diet
  8. thyroiditis characterized by high levels of antimicrosomal antibodies, most common cause of hypothyroidismin the US, AKA chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or autoimmune thyroiditis
    Hashimoto's disease
  9. steroid of the adrenal cortex influences sodium and potassium

  11. chromaffin cell tumor, usually benign, located in the adrenal medulla; characterized by secretion of catecholamines resulting in HTN, severe HA, profuse sweating, visual blurring, anxiety and nausea
  12. excessive secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary glanddespite low sodium osmolality level, occurs with oat cell carcinoma of the lung and other malignant tumors that produce ADH
  13. severe life threatening form of hyperthyroidism precipitated by stress, usually of abrupt onset, characterized by high fever, extreme tachycardia, and altered mental state
    thyroid storm
  14. antidiuretic hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary; causes contraction of smooth muscle, particularly blood vessels

    nausea, malaise, lethargy, HA, abdominal cramps, apprehension, seizures
  22. what are the manifestations for sodium excess
    dry, sticky mucous, membranes, thirst, rough, dry tongue, fever, restlessness, weakness, disorientation
  23. what are the manifestations for potassium deficit
    anorexia, abd distention, paralytic ileus, muscle weakness, ECG changes, dysrhythmias
  24. what are the manifestations for potassium excess
    diarrhea, colic, nausea, irritability, muscle weakness, ECG changes
  25. what are the manifestations for calcium deficit
    abd and muscle cramps, stridor, carpopedal spasm, hyperactive reflexes, tetany, positive chovek's or trousseau's signs, tingling of fingers and around mouth

  31. an immune response initiated by t lymphocytes of donor tissue against recepient tissue
    graft-versus-host disease
  32. increase in the number of cells of a tissue; most often associated with periods of rapid body growth
  33. conversion of one type of mature cell into another type of cell
  34. lowest point of white blood cell depression after therapy that that has toxic effects on the bone marrow
  35. uncontrolled cell growth that follows no physiologic demand
  36. process of determining the size and spread or metastisis of a tumor
  37. dry oral cavity resulting from decreased function of salivary glands
  38. protein of the membrane of cancer cells that distinguish the malignant cells from a benign cell of the same tissue type
