Summary Introduction

To identify: The major symptom of the disorder in Conn’s syndrome, leading to an increase in the production of the aldosterone from the adrenal gland.

Concept introduction: The constriction of the blood capillaries is caused by the angiotensin hormone. It causes the increase in the blood pressure inside the vessels. The adrenal gland releases the aldosterone by the action of the hormone angiotenin II. The release of the hormone aldosterone causes the reabsorption of the sodium ions and water in the collecting duct.

. Lipid-soluble signaling molecules, such as aldosterone,cross the membranes of all cells but affect only target cellsbecause(A) only target cells retain the appropriate DNA segments.(B) intracellular receptors are present only in target cells.(C) only target cells have enzymes that break downaldosterone.(D) only in target cells is aldosterone able to initiate thephosphorylation cascade that turns genes on
Create a hormone map. A complete map will include the secretion signal for the hormone, the origin of the hormone, and hormone targets, and the physiological outcomes of hormone increases or decreases within the body. Be sure to indicate feedback loops within your map. Please provide an explanation of the steps within your map and explain why this interaction is important physiologically.
7. Mapping exercise: Create a reflex map with feedback loops for each of the following situations: a. hypercortisolism from adrenal tumor b. hypercortisolism from pituitary tumor c. hypothyroidism from hormone-secreting thyroid tumor d. hypothyroidism from the pituitary problem that decreases TSH synthesis
