Shock

Featured Replies

what kind of shock are you referring to?

different hormones would kick into place, depending on the mechanisms of action involved.

some of them would be acth, gh, thyroid hormones, adh, etc.

again, it would depend on what type of shock and its' particular sequelae.

Ugh.......shock is actually quite a complex reaction. Just studied this in patho.

The endocrine system comes into play during the compensatory stages of shock. (Three stages: initial, compensatory, and progressive - (I'm looking at my critical care nursing book). This involves the pitutarary gland being stimulated which secretes ACTH, which in turn stimulates the adrenal cortex to stilumulate to produce glucocorticoids, causing a rise in blood glucose levels, as well as release of eip and norepi. (to vasoconstrict).

These are two glands in the endrocrine system and you might focus on these actions.
