| Akinesia | Slowness or loss of mvmt. Masklike facial expression, emotionless speech. |
| Bradykinesia | Akinesia, slowness of movement |
| Addison's Disease | Undersecrete ACTH of adrenal cortex: fatigue, fainting, loss appetite, decr wt., depr, apathy. |

| Cushing's Disease | Oversecrete ACTH of adrenal cortex: obesity, mem loss, mood swings, depr, somatic delusions. |
| Hyperthyroidism | Oversecrete thyroxin: speeded up metabolism, wt loss, irritable, nervous, insomnia: GRAVEs Disease |

| Hypoglycemia | Oversecrete insulin: hunger, dizziness, HA, blurred vision, palpitations, anx., depr, confusion. |
| Diabetes Mellitus | No insulin produced: high glucose blood levels: mineral loss, low bp, reduced blood flow, death. |
