Discuss two disease processes of the endocrine or nervous system that are most interesting to you. Why are you interested in these disease processes?
Ans) Endocrine disorders include:
• Adrenal insufficiency. The adrenal gland releases too little of the hormone cortisol and sometimes, aldosterone. Symptoms include fatigue, stomach upset, dehydration, and skin changes. Addison's disease is a type of adrenal insufficiency.
• Cushing's disease. Overproduction of a pituitary gland hormone leads to an overactive adrenal gland. A similar condition called Cushing's syndrome may occur in people, particularly children, who take high doses of corticosteroid medications.

The endocrine system has certain characteristics that set it apart from the nervous system. Which one of the following characteristics is typical of the endocrine system, but NOT the nervous system? A. Hormones rely on cell receptors to transfer a message, but neurotransmitters do not require them. B. The chemicals used for communication reach nearly every living cell except brain and reproductive tissues. C. Hormones can interact with the neurons, but neurons cannot communicate with endocrine cells. D. Hormones typically...

Which of the following is a characteristic that is shared by both the Endocrine System and the Nervous System, with regard to communication and coordinating different organ systems? The Endocrine System coordinates physiological responses over shorter timeframes, while the Nervous System sends signals that persist over longer periods. Both utilize the diffusion of chemical messengers and receptor proteins at some stage during their respective processes for relaying information. Neurotransmitters in the Nervous System are similar to lipid-soluble hormones used by...
