Endocrinology Physiology

Recommend Book is Guyton(Vol.2)

It contains 6 Chapters(#75-80)
Ch#75 Introduction to Endocrinology
-Read it thoroughly and Mark the important points, which u think...
-Important chapter for MCQ's only
-Especially Table 75.1
Instead of this,
-Intracellular Signaling Pathways (Figures specially) But in this topic G- protein Linked Receptor
System is most important
-Second Messenger System is also important (But this topic you people also study in
Biochemistry) and
-In last just read ELISA technique and it's figure.

Ch#76 Pituitary Gland Hormones

-Classification of hormones of Anterior and Posterior Pituitary Glands
-Hormones of Hypothalamus
-Growth Hormone(functions, secretion) important for SEQ
-Clinicals(Panhypopituitarism, Gigantism, Dwarfism, Acromegaly) important for scenario based
MCQ's or SEQ's
-Posterior Pituitary Hormones (ADH, Oxytocin)
-ADH is covered mostly in Renal System
-Functions of Oxytocin (just read these 2)

Ch#77 ThyroidMetabolic Hormone

Important chapter for both MCQ's & SEQ's
-Synthesis & Secretion of Thyroid Hormone
-Release of Thyroid Hormone
-(Fig.77.2) V.V.Important
-Functions (especially Cardiac functions and Effect on Sleep)
-Figure 77.5(for functions) Summary
-Cardiac functions include:
__COP, __HR, __SV, __Cardiac Muscle Strength, etc.
-Clinicals (Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism) important for both MCQ's and SEQ's scenario
based.

😊
*Last time most of the MCQ's from Endocrinology portion are from this chapter, from Clinicals*
sO Prepare it well & next chapter is important too so we discuss it tomorrow InShahAllah

Ch#78 Adrenocortical Hormones

Important chapter for both MCQ's as well as SEQ's
-Classification of hormones of adrenal cortex and medulla
-Mineralocorticoids, Glucocorticoids (for MCQ's)
-Figure 78.2(Important)
-Functions of Aldosterone (Important for SEQ's)
-Metabolic functions of Glucocorticoids (Cortisol) V.V.Important topic for SEQ's
-Role of cortisol in inflammation_SEQ's
-Clinicals(Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome) V.V.V.Important for scenario based SEQ's
-Conn's Syndrome, Adrenogenital Syndrome (also for scenario based SEQ's).
Next 2 chapters tomorrow IN SHA ALLAH and we'll cover Endocrinology with that... 💯😇
Ch#79 Insulin Glucagon & Diabetes Mellitus
Important chapter for MCQ's & SEQ's as well
-Physiological Anatomy of Pancreas(Read it)
-Insulin Synthesis (Important for SEQ's)
-Figure 79.3(Important)
-Role of insulin in Liver(Uptake, Storage, Use)
-Metabolic Effects of Insulin (Especially on Fats) V.V.Important for SEQ
-Mechanism of Insulin secretion (Figure 79.7) Important for SEQ
-Table 79.1 Regulation of Insulin Secretion (For MCQ & SEQ)
-Functions of Glucagon Important SEQ
-Clinicals (Diabetes Mellitus) V.Important for MCQ's and scenario based SEQ
-Table 79.3 Differences between Type-I & Type-II Diabetes Mellitus

Ch#80 PTH, Calcitonin, Calcium & Phosphate Metabolism, Vitamin D, Bone

Important chapter for MCQ's not as such important for SEQ's
-Figure 80.3
-Mechanism of Bone Calcification
-Remodeling of Bone(Figure 80.5) for SEQ
-Activation of Vitamin D (Important for SEQ)
-Actions of Vitamin D
-PTH & it's functions for SEQ
-Figure 80.13(Summary of effects of PTH)
-Calcitonin
-Clinicals (Hypoparathyroidism, Hyperparathyroidism, Rickets, Osteoporosis) Important for
scenario based MCQ & SEQ
