– Anterior pituitary• Thyroid stimulating
hormone
– Thyroid gland• Tetraiodothyronine • Triiodothyronine

• > 180/110 mm Hg constitutes a medical emergency
• < 90/50 mm Hg reliable sign of shock
– Pulse pressure, rate, and rhythm• Pulse pressure
correlates closely with systolic BP– Reliable
cofactor to either rule out or confirm significant CVD
• Pulse rate – <50 or >100
beats/min constitutes a medical emergency
