Test to determine capacity of TBG to bind thyroid hormones

* Indirect measure of free binding sites on the TBG molecule

• T3 Resin Uptake

• Free thyroxine index (FT4I)

• Thyroid antibody screens

• TRH stimulation test

* Indirect assessment of the concentration of circulating T4

• T3 Resin Uptake

• Free thyroxine index (FT4I)

• Thyroid antibody screens

• TRH stimulation test

* used for for autoimmune disorders like in Hashimoto's thyroiditis and grave's disease

• T3 Resin Uptake

• Free thyroxine index (FT4I)

• Thyroid antibody screens

• TRH stimulation test

* we inject this to an individual suspected with hyperthyroidism and observe TSH level after administration of (the answer hehehe)

• T3 Resin Uptake

• Free thyroxine index (FT4I)

• Thyroid antibody screens

• TRH stimulation test

HYPERPARATHYROIDISM TYPE

* Demineralization: Ostetitis fibrosa cystica

* Hypercalcemia

• Primary

• Secondary

• Tertiary

HYPERPARATHYROIDISM TYPE

* Hypocalcemia --> due to parathyroid hyperplasia

• Primary

• Secondary

• Tertiary

HYPERPARATHYROIDISM TYPE

* Calcium phosphate precipitation in the soft tissues/ calcification of soft tissues

• Primary

• Secondary

• Tertiary

ADRENAL GLAND

* function is to increase work output/ also known as adrenaline - for increased mobilization and energy utilization

• Epinephrine

• Norepinephrine

• Adrenal Cortex

• Adrogen

ADRENAL GLAND

* after production of epinepherine (relaxation state), individual will produce epinephrine which will counteract the effwct after some time.

• Epinephrine

• Norepinephrine

• Adrenal Cortex

• Adrogen

responsible for vasodilization/relaxation of blood vessels
