Role of more specialised investigations, such as dynamic endocrine tests and magnetic resonance imaging are discussed. Relevant physiology and anatomy is included to enable understanding of tests and management.
This is an integrated textbook on the endocrine system, covering the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of the system, all presented in a clinically relevant context appropriate for the first two years of the medical student course. - One of the seven volumes in the Systems of the Body series. - Concise text covers the core anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in an integrated manner as required by system- and problem-based medical courses. - The basic science is presented in the clinical context in a way appropriate for the early part of the medical course. - There is a linked website providing self-assessment material ideal for examination preparation.
The Systems of the Body series has established itself as a highly valuable resource for medical and other health science students following today's systems-based courses. Now thoroughly revised and updated in this third edition, each volume presents the core knowledge of basic science and clinical conditions that medical students need, providing a concise, fully integrated view of each major body system that can be hard to find in more traditionally arranged textbooks or other resources. Multiple case studies help relate key principles to current practice, with links to clinical skills, clinical investigation and therapeutics made clear throughout. Each (print) volume also now comes with access to the complete, enhanced eBook version, offering easy anytime, anywhere access - as well as self-assessment material to check your understanding and aid exam preparation. The Endocrine System provides highly accessible coverage of the core basic science principles in the context of clinical case histories, giving the reader a fully integrated understanding of the system and its major diseases. - Introduction - Receptors and Hormone Action - The Hypothalamus and Pituitary Part I: The Hypothalamus and Posterior Pituitary4 - The Hypothalamus and Pituitary Part II: The Anterior Pituitary - The Adrenal Glands Part I: The Adrenal Medulla - The Adrenal Glands Part II: The Adrenal Cortex - The Thyroid Gland - Hormonal Control of Reproduction Part I: Male Reproductive System - Hormonal Control of Reproduction Part II: Female Reproductive System - Hormonal Control of Reproduction Part III: Development and Fertility - Insulin and the Regulation of Plasma Glucose - Hormonal Regulation of Plasma Calcium and Calcium Metabolism - Miscellaneous Hormones Systems of the Body Series: - The Renal System - The Musculoskeletal System - The Nervous System - The Digestive System - The Endocrine System - The Respiratory System - The Cardiovascular System
