Study Set Content:
Thyroid hormones include
e thyroxine or T4, and triiodothyronine T3
It also mobilizes dietary iodine, converting it to an organic compound that can accelerate metabolic process
Thyroid glands
For hypothyroidism, treatment is
replacement therapy
For hyperthyroidism, treatment includes
surgical, radioactive iodine and antimetabolites.
Cleaned, dried and powdered thyroid gland previously deprived of connective tissue and fat. - It is obtained from domesticated animals that are used for food by humans.
Thyroid
It is also used for oral therapy
Thyroid
Obtained by fractionation of porcine thyroid gland. It contains thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
Thyroglobulin
from family Suidae.
Sus scrofa
It is also used for oral therapy.
Thyroglobulin
The sodium salt of the levo isomer of thyroxine, an active physiologic principle obtained from the thyroid gland of domesticated animals used for food by humans. It is also used for oral therapy.
Sodium levothyroxine
Also known as hypophysis that is situated in a small cavity in the sphenoid bone at the base of the skull and is attached to the base of the brain by a short stalk.
Pituitary glands
Pituitary glands has 2 lobes
anterior lobe and the posterior lobe.
Ectodermal in origin, derived from an outpouching from the primitive pharynx
Anterior lobe
Neural in origin, derived from an outpouching of the base of the brain.
Posterior lobe
It has a pressor effect, direct stimulation of smooth muscle and an antidiuretic action in animals and humans.
Posterior pituitary
Posterior pituitary Its two hormones include
oxytocin and vasopressin
The uterine-stimulating fraction
Oxytocin or α-hypophamine
An octapeptide hypothalamic hormone stored in the posterior pituitary.
Oxytocin or α-hypophamine
It has an antidiuretic principle
Vasopressin or β-hypophamine
A hormone secreted by the cells of the hypothalamic nuclei and stored in the posterior pituitary for release as necessary
Vasopressin or β-hypophamine
