Chapter 17, Problem 2CRCAQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The excess hormone secreted by the pituitary gland in case of a tumor that leads to a rapid increase in height and the further effects of the associated hormone(s), in case preventive measures are not taken.
Introduction:
The glands that are associated with the endocrine system are associated with the formation of various chemo-messengers that are termed as hormones. Excess or reduced secretions of the endocrine gland can adversely affect various process in humans. There are various reasons that can cause disorders in the endocrine system.
