A client is diagnosed with pheochromocytoma. The finding in the urinalysis report supports the diagnosis by Total catecholamines - 640 mmol/24 hr.

How Pheochromocytoma Is Diagnosed?

Rarely, the little glands on top of the kidneys known as the adrenal glands will develop a tumor known as a pheochromocytoma. These tumors may be malignant or benign (noncancerous) (cancerous).

Catecholamines, the hormones that regulate our ability to fight or flee, are frequently overproduced by pheochromocytomas, which results in symptoms including elevated blood pressure, headaches, anxiety, and a sense of impending doom.

A blood or urine test to identify elevated levels of the hormones that these tumors emit is typically the first step in making a diagnosis if suspicious symptoms are noticed or if a person has a family history of a genetic condition associated with this type of tumor. Additional tests and imaging examinations can also be required.

Which statements describe the endocrine system? Check all that apply.
Anarel [89]

The following statements describe the endocrine system:

1. It helps regulate mood- The endocrine system regulates the release of hormones and

neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and cortisol in human bodies. These hormones and

neurotransmitters secreted by the endocrine system in turn affect our mood by

increasing or decreasing levels of happiness, rewarding seeking behavior, stress, etc. 

2. It helps regulate reproductive processes- The endocrine system consists of reproductive glands in males and females. In females, the hormones estrogen and progesterone secreted by reproductive glands (ovaries) regulate menstrual cycles, egg fertilization and reproduction. Whereas, in males, reproductive glands (testes) regulate sex hormones, such as testosterone, sexual arousal and sperm count. 

3. It helps regulate growth and development- The hormone known as human growth hormone (HGH) is released by the endocrine system. HGH is responsible for growth, an individual's height and development of the physical body, especially during childhood and up to early adulthood. HGH is also responsible for cell reproduction and regeneration in humans. 

4. It secretes hormones into the bloodstream- The endocrine system functions primarily by releasing hormones in the bloodstream. The endocrine system consists of various glands around the body, that have their own respective functions. Each of these glands secrete different hormones in the bloodstream. The different glands that comprise the endocrine system in human bodies include: the hypothalamus (in the brain), pituitary glands, thyroid gland, parathyroids, adrenal glands, reproductive glands and pancreas.
