Well there is a type of cell involved named T lymphocytes which cause inflammation by invading the thyroid gland and causing silent and painless inflammation and destroys the thyroid gland, leading to the little of no production of thyroid hormone which eventually leads to a situation named Hypothyroidism.

They can mimic the symptoms of many other conditions that mean they are not specific. Well the symptoms of the Hashimoto’s
What is the endocrine gland? What role does the pituitary gland have associated with the endocrine gland? Why is their negative feedback when the pituitary gland is controlling the action of another endocrine gland? Knowing and understanding the role of the pituitary gland will help you infer the negative feedback involved with the pituitary gland when controlling the action of another endocrine gland. Endocrine glands are hormonal glands that are part of the endocrine system (body's main system for controlling, organizing, and communicating the body's work), which release hormones straight into the body's bloodstream (Biology.OpenStax.1480).

Should I Use Antibacterial Wipes/Sanitizers/Hygiene Towelettes with Diabetes People with diabetes are prone to skin problems and need to take careful care of their skin. It is also important to have clean hands, especially before glucose testing. Consider whether people with diabetes should use antibacterial wipes, sanitizers and/or hygiene towelettes.

It is estimated 1/3 of people with diabetes will develop some type of skin condition that is caused or affected by the disease.
Physicians have generally advised individuals to drink a lot of water if sick. A new case study reports the dangers of consuming too much water and shows the need for more study to support this standard advice. For years, the major medical advice in case of flu or respiratory infections has been to consume a lot of fluids. Theoretically, this is regarded good advice; while in a cold, the body releases more liquids via the nose or may be running a fever, which could result in more fluid loss.
Crystalyn Poppert BIO202- Amy Bell September 1, 2015 Endocrine Written Assignment 1.) The different methods of intercellular signaling are gap junctions, local/paracrine hormones, and endocrine hormones. Gap junctions are direct connections that permit electrical and chemical signals to pass between cells. Tunnels that directly link cells. For example, the heart allows ions to flow directly from one heart cell to another.
Hyperkalemia that does not respond to medical therapy may require dialysis. Due to the importance of this condition, it is critical that patients understand its causes, symptoms, and treatment. By the end of this article, you will have the answers to these essential questions • What causes hyperkalemia? • How common is hyperkalemia?
The hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release TSH to stimulate the thyroid which then produces and releases T3. Neural stimuli refer to the Nervous System that stimulates the gland(s) directly to create a rapid response of hormone
INTRODUCTION The thyroid is Greek word for “shield shaped” from the shape of the nearby tracheal cartilage. The thyroid gland was named “glandulae thyroidaeae” by Wharton in 1656.[1] The thyroid gland is the source of two fundamentally different types of hormones, produced by thyroid follicles, idothyronine hormone thyroxine (T4) and 3, 5, 3’- triidotyronine (T3). Fig 1.1:- Conversion of T4 to T3 and Reverse T3.
