HS 2211 - Human Anatomy and Physiology Discussion Forum Unit 4 Endocrine System Article Review Using the external resources of PubMed (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/), identify a clinical disorder that represents a fundamental disturbance of the structural or functional integrity of the endocrine system. Introduce the clinical disorder to your readers, describe the impact on community health and demonstrate your understanding of the material presented in Chapters 17 by correctly defining and using at least 4 anatomic and/or physiologic terms related to the structural organization of endocrine system of humans as related to the clinical scenario you introduce to your readers. Your discussion must be at least 250 words in length, detailing your thoughts and position using 2 readings references for support. Also be sure to pose 1-2 well thought out questions from which your colleagues can formulate a response or generate further discussion. Be sure to cite any references using APA format.
According to the Webmed website, The body's ability to convert calories into energy that fuels cells and organs is one of several vital bodily processes that are regulated by the endocrine system, which is a network of glands that generate and release hormones. Your heart rate, the development of your bones and tissues, and even your capacity to become pregnant are all influenced by the endocrine system. It is crucial to your risk of developing diabetes, thyroid disease, developmental problems, sexual dysfunction, and a variety of other disorders linked to hormones (n.d.). The Mayo Clinic website mentioned that The body's levels of calcium and phosphorus are controlled by the parathyroid hormone, which is produced by the parathyroid glands, which are situated behind the thyroid. The health of your bones, muscles, and nerves depends on this hormone. There are two different types of hyperparathyroidism: primary and secondary. Primary hyperparathyroidism is brought on by an enlargement of one or more parathyroid glands, which causes an overproduction of parathyroid hormone and raises blood calcium levels. The most popular form of treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism is surgery. Because of another condition that lowers calcium levels, secondary hyperparathyroidism develops over time as parathyroid hormone levels rise. This is typical of
certain intestinal operations or disorders, as well as kidney problems. Because of high calcium levels in blood tests, primary hyperparathyroidism is frequently identified before the onset of symptoms. Damage or dysfunction in other organs or tissues, such as high calcium levels in the blood and urine or insufficient calcium in the bones, can cause symptoms. Osteoporosis, kidney stones, excessive urination, abdominal discomfort, soreness, depression, bone, and joint pain, frequent illness complaints, nausea, vomiting, and appetite loss are just a few of the symptoms that can range from mild to severe. Factors that raise parathyroid hormone production are the cause of hyperparathyroidism. By controlling the secretion of parathyroid hormone, the parathyroid glands control the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body. Calcium levels are regulated by vitamin D. The glands release enough parathyroid hormone to restore equilibrium when calcium levels are low. For healthy teeth
