Glands
Ductless glands
transport hormones in

Duct glands are
exocrine glands that
use tubes to carry the

Disorders of the
Endocrine System
Acromegaly
An enlargement of the bones of the hands,
feet, and jaws
Addison's disease
Caused by hyposecretion of the hormones
produced by the cortex of the adrenal gland
Cretinism
Condition resulting from a congenital
deficiency of thyroid secretion or
hypothyroidism
Diabetes insipidus
From an acquired or inherited decrease in the
antidiuretic hormone secreted by the pituitary
Diabetes mellitus
A disorder of carbohydrate, fat, and protein
metabolism resulting from insufficient insulin
production by the pancreas
Gigantism
An excessive growth of the long bones caused
by hypersecretion of the somatotropic
hormone
Graves disease
Caused by hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis
Hypoglycemia
Results from increased insulin production by
the pancreas
Hypoparathyroidism
A decreased secretion of parathyroid
hormone that causes tetany
Virilism
Results from increased secretion in the adrenal
glands
Pathology, continued
Adrenal gland
Cushings syndrome (see next pic)
Usually caused by an ACTH-secreting pituitary
tumor
Rarely by tumor of adrenal cortex
Iatrogenic
Addisons disease
Hyposecretion (under secretion) of adrenal cortex
Usually involves cortisol and aldosterone: low
blood glucose and sodium, severe dehydration,
fatigue, loss of appetetie, abdominal pain

Abnormal hormone production
Abnormal cellular sensitivity
ACROMEGALY:
Over production of growth
