### Endocrinology: Hormones and Conditions#### Question 11: Identify the HormonesName the hormone(s) produced in excessive amounts that directly result in the following conditions:1. **In the adult: large bones of the hands, feet, and face** - Answer: ______________________2. **Nervousness, irregular pulse rate, sweating** - Answer: ______________________3. **Demineralization of bones, spontaneous fractures** - Answer: ______________________#### Explanation- **Large bones of the hands, feet, and face in adults**: This condition is typically associated with the hormone growth hormone (GH). Excessive production of GH in adulthood often leads to a disorder known as acromegaly, characterized by abnormal enlargement of bones in the hands, feet, and face.- **Nervousness, irregular pulse rate, sweating**: These symptoms are frequently linked to the overproduction of thyroid hormones, specifically thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), resulting in a condition called hyperthyroidism.- **Demineralization of bones, spontaneous fractures**: This condition may be caused by the excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Overproduction of PTH can lead to hyperparathyroidism, which results in the weakening of bones and increased risk of fractures due to bone demineralization.

Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands. Endocrine glands are ductless glands that release their…
