Which gland was originally identified as the master gland? Answer - Pituitary

currently the hypothalamus is given this title because it is responsible for
coordinating the nervous and endocrine responses.
A client has been experiencing a decrease in serum calcium. After diagnostics,
the physician proposes the calcium level fluctuation is due to altered
parathyroid function. What is the typical number of parathyroid glands?
Answer - Four
Explanation: The parathyroid glands are four (some people have more than
four) small, bean-shaped bodies, each surrounded by a capsule of connective
tissue and embedded within the lateral lobes of the thyroid.
Which diagnostic test is done to determine a suspected pituitary tumor?
Answer - Computed Tomography
Explanation: CT or magnetic resonance imaging is used to diagnose the
presence and extent of pituitary tumors.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) has which effects on the kidney? Answer -
Stimulation of calcium reabsorption and phosphate excretion
, Explanation: PTH stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb calcium and excrete
phosphate and converts vitamin D to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.
PTH doesn't have a role in the metabolism of vitamin E.
The pharmacology instructor is diagramming the nervous and endocrine
systems. What organ would the instructor diagram as the connector between
the nervous and endocrine systems? Answer - Hypothalamus
Explanation: The hypothalamus is the coordinating center for the nervous and
endocrine responses to internal and external stimuli. The pituitary, thyroid, and
parathyroid glands all play an important role in hormones, but do not connect
the nervous and endocrine systems.

response to serum calcium levels? Answer - Calcitonin
Explnation: Calcitonin is produced and secreted by the thyroid gland.
Aldosterone is an adrenocorticoid hormone that is released in response to
ACTH. Erythropoietin is released by the juxtaglomerular cells in the kidney in
response to decreased pressure or decreased oxygenation of the blood flowing
into the glomerulus. Insulin is produced by the pancreas in response to varying
blood glucose levels.
The nurse is assessing mental and emotional status in a client about to begin
therapy for an endocrine disorder. Which of the following would the nurse test

questions can help the nurse evaluate mental and emotional status.
