Guest guest Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 >I >swear, many times I have thought I was " smarter than them there >Dokters! " I think in a way, we are, because we devote a lot more time and research into our condition. In my physiology class, we barely covered thyroid function. The only hormones discussed were T3 and T4. No mention of their activity to speak of. Just a cursory mention of iodine-defiency goiter and outrageous Graves' illustrations - you know, the TED. I'd be willing to bet physicians don't get much more, and after they've been in practive awhile, how much do you think they remember? All their stuff says is to prescribe synthetic T4 - so much per kg. Any other symptoms mean a " psychiatric disorder " . Blechh.

The one i have does have there method of action in there but not in the hormone section persay. Look up nucleur receptors that is how the majority of TH gets used. As faras the T2 info that is coming out they really look like they use the cell memebrane receptors with the second messenger system doing the action. What is really funnt abiut the physiology books is that 1) they do discuss T1 and T2 but only state that they are non functioning hormones 2) that when placeing someone on HRT the goal is to make treatment as close as possible to the bodies natural secretions. I think we both know how lacking they are when it comes to that second one. If you want I have some online medical books I can give you the links to if you like, they go into a little more depth then the physiology books but are also a little harder to understand.

I'm taking Biology 201 (Physiology) at my local community college. I'm hoping to get into the ultrasound program this fall. The book did go into a little more detail, but my instructor just glossed over the whole thyroid/parathyroid. We did go over the pituitary/hypothalamus/endocrine gland axis, though. > > Laurie > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
