ENDOCRINOLOGY Ⅱ
Pituitary Gland
Thyroid gland
Thyroid gland
The thyroid hormones
Synthesis
and secretion: epithelioid cells
Storage: in colloid ,a large glycoprotein
(thyroglobulin).
The thyroid hormones
The thyroid hormones
: 1mg/week
: combine with iodine
The thyroid hormones
The thyroid hormones
The thyroid hormones
When the synthesis of TH ceases,
Physiologic effects of deficiency are
not observed for 2-3 months
The thyroid hormones (TH)
The thyroid hormones
The thyroid hormones (TH)
Cretinism
TH
stimulation formation of dendrites, axons,
myelin and neuroglia
Deficiency in iodine in fetus : TH↓→ Cretinism
Treatment : supplement the TH within three
months after birth
The thyroid hormones (TH)

Nonpitting edema
Lengthy sleep
The thyroid hormones (TH)
The thyroid hormones (TH)
:TH↓→constipation
Increase the appetite
Hyperthyroidism
Major clinical signs :
include weight loss (often
accompanied by an
increased appetite),anxiety,
intolerance to heat, hair loss,
muscle aches, weakness,
fatigue, hyperactivity,
irritability
The thyroid hormones (TH)
Regulation of Thyroid Hormone Secretion
Hypothalamic
Pituitary Thyroid Axis
Autoregulation

T3,T4
Target cell
Regulation of Thyroid Hormone Secretion
Mechanism of goiter
Iodine↓→T3,T4↓→
TSH↑ (negative feedback) →
T3,T4 ↑and thyroid cells ↑ →goiter
The thyroid hormones (TH)
Regulation of Thyroid Hormone Secretion
Auto regulation
Wolff-chaikoff
effect
Without
control of TSH, the thyroid gland can
adapt itself function to iodide uptake
Iodide concentration: 10mmol/L , no uptake of iodide
Regulation of Thyroid Hormone Secretion
Effect of Autonomic Nervous System on
Thyroid Activity
Sympathetic
nerve: formation of TH↑
Para sympathetic nerve: formation of TH↓
Abnormality of thyroid gland
Hypothyroidism
Cretinism: extreme hypothyroidism during fetal life, infancy,
or childhood
Goiter
Myxedema: bagginess under the eyes and swelling of the face
develop atherosclerosis
Sleeping up to 12 to 14 hours a day,
extreme muscular sluggishness
heart rate↓ cardiac output↓ blood volume↓
Body Weight↑
Constipation
mental sluggishness
Abnormality of thyroid gland
Hyperthyroidism
high state of excitability
intolerance to heat
increased sweating
mild to extreme weight loss
varying degrees of diarrhea
muscle weakness
nervousness or other psychic disorders
Extreme fatigue but inability to sleep
tremor of the hands
