The axis of the thyrod gland is important to learn

TSH, T3, T4 are the hromoneds produced by the thyroid

and play crucial roles in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate, body temperature, and cholesterol levels. An imbalance in these hormones can lead to conditions such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

Primary - thyroid itself or glands

Secondary - Pituitary

Teriray - Hypothalamus

Dynamic functioning tests are essential for evaluating the interactions between these glands, as they assess how well the thyroid gland responds to signals from the pituitary and hypothalamus.

DEXA scan is another important tool for bone density, particularly for assessing bone density and metabolic function, which can be influenced by hormonal levels regulated by the pituitary and thyroid glands.

Sarcopenia: a condition characterized by the loss of muscle mass and strength, often associated with aging and hormonal changes, which can be exacerbated by imbalances in thyroid and pituitary hormone levels.

Sarcopenia diagnosis

Muscle mass: CT scan, MRI, DEXA

Muscle strenth: Grip stringth

Physical performance: Short physical performance battery test (SPPB)
