Introduction: Growth and development are two important aspects of living beings. Growth is defined as a condition of an increase in the size of a person due to cell division, and development is the progress of a person towards maturity.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The five different hormones that have an effect on the growth.

Select ALL the statements that are correct. Growth hormone production is inhibited by somatostatin. Growth hormone production is stimulated by the release of the tropic hormone GHRH in the hypothalamus. Growth hormone production is inhibited by IGF-1 which is secreted by the liver. Gigantism and acromegaly differ in that gigantism is due to oversecretion of GHRH, not GH.
Explain the following factors affecting growth and give examples: • Genetic History • Nutrition • Sleep • Emotional Well-being
Adrenaline is a hormone that is secreted in a situation that can be perceived as dangerous or threatening for an individual, and is thus considered a stress hormone. Adrenaline increases the body's physical performance. Discuss what may be the neck or benefits of a long half-life or a short half-life for the hormone.
