Q Module 1Critical Thinking Assignment Disruption in the Structure or Function of the Endocrine System The endocrine system plays an essential role in maintaining homeostasis and interacts with body organs and systems to coordinate body functions. For this assignment option, identify a factor or situation that could cause a disruption in the structure or function of the endocrine system (e.g., hypothyroidism). • Summarize the factors that caused the disruption and describe the changes that occurred in the endocrine system as a result of the disruption. • Identify the short-term and long-term consequences of the changes. • Discuss the necessary interventions to return the body to its homeostatic balance. Requirements: • Your paper should be 2-3-pages in length, excluding title and reference pages. • Conform to APA guidelines in the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). • Include at least two scholarly references in addition to the course textbook. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references.

Conditions that impact the endocrine system are known as endocrine diseases. The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones. Hormones have a role in metabolism, growth, development, reproduction, and mood modulation, among other things. Any ailment that affects the endocrine system disrupts the hormones' coordination and regulation in the glands and locations where they are produced (McKinley et al., 2022). The most probable causes of endocrine dysfunction include over-production or under-production of the hormones, environmental or nutritional factors, genetic factors, and tumors. For this week’s assignment, I have selected hyperthyroidism as a condition that disrupts the normal functioning of the endocrine system.
