Endocrine Review
• Anatomy is 5
pictures/microscope
slides
• Remember to study
your To-Know list!
Those are the only
terms that are fair
game for the Anat.
• Rest of this
ppt is the
Physiology
portion
(notecardable
items)
Endocrine Review
• Action of non-steroid
(protein) hormones vs Action
of steroid hormones— how
does each do it’s job?
• Brief overview of Steroid types
Endocrine Review
• Draw out the feedback
loop for the maintenance
of blood sugar levels. (full
figure 8…both high and
low blood glucose)
Endocrine Review
• Diabetes lab…which is more
reliable as an indicator, urine
glucose or blood glucose? Why?
• Case Study #1: 7 points
• Case Study #2: 5 points
Endocrine Review
Thyroid lab—
be able to describe how TRF, TSH and
Thyroxine work in harmony.
– Explain the body signals that would lead to an
increase or decrease of one of these…make
sure you can write out the loop!
Work it through and be complete!
Endocrine Review
• How do endocrine disruptors
interfere with hormonal signaling
processes?
• Given the symptons of

often overlooked/underdiagnosed?
(These are from your formative work)
Endocrine Review
• How are positive feedback
loops different than

• Melatonin and it’s role in
