Which of the following hormone stimulates the gastric secretion ?
Enterogastrone
Gastrin
CCK-PZ
Villikinin
Mammalian prolactin is secreted by :
adenohypophysis
neurohypophysis
adrenal cortex
adrenal medulla
Hypersecretion of growth hormone in the period of growth lead to :
acromegaly
cushing syndrome
midgets
cretinism
A.
acromegaly
Acromegaly is caused by the hypersecretion of growth hormones or somatotrophic hormones during adult phase. This type of patient has a gorilla like appearance with huge hands and legs.
Cushing syndrome is caused by overproduction of ACTH or adrenocorticotrophic hormone.
Deficiency of growth hormone causes dwarfism. People suffering from this disease are very small (midget).
