a.

Summary Introduction

To state: The hormone imbalance involved in gigantism, and lists its two significant effects.

Concept introduction: Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted by the endocrine system. The hormonal disorders are normally caused either by hyposecretion or hypersecretion of a hormone. The other reasons for hormonal disorder include defects in the second receptor, defective hormone receptor, and an inadequate number of hormone receptor.

b.

Summary Introduction

To state: The hormone imbalance involved in cretinism and lists its two significant effects.

Concept introduction: Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted by the endocrine system. The hormonal disorders are normally caused either by hyposecretion or by hypersecretion of a hormone. The other reasons for hormonal disorder include defects in the second receptor, defective hormone receptor, and an inadequate number of hormone receptor.

c.

Summary Introduction

To state: The hormone imbalance involved in pheochromocytoma and lists its two significant effects.

Concept introduction: Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted by the endocrine system. The hormonal disorders are normally caused either by hyposecretion or by hypersecretion of a hormone. The other reasons for hormonal disorder include defects in the second receptor, defective hormone receptor, and an inadequate number of hormone receptor.

d.

Summary Introduction

To state: The hormone imbalance involved in myxedema and lists its two significant effects.

Concept introduction: Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted by the endocrine system. The hormonal disorders are normally caused either by hyposecretion or by hypersecretion of a hormone. The other reasons for hormonal disorder include defects in the second receptor, defective hormone receptor, and an inadequate number of hormone receptor.

e.

Summary Introduction

To state: The hormone imbalance involved in acromegaly and lists its two significant effects.

Concept introduction: Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted by the endocrine system. The hormonal disorders are normally caused either by hyposecretion or by hypersecretion of a hormone. The other reasons for hormonal disorder include defects in the second receptor, defective hormone receptor, and an inadequate number of hormone receptor.

f.

Summary Introduction

To state: The hormone imbalance involved in diabetes insipidus and lists its two significant effects.

Concept introduction: Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted by the endocrine system. The hormonal disorders are normally caused either by hyposecretion or by hypersecretion of a hormone. The other reasons for hormonal disorder include defects in the second receptor, defective hormone receptor, and an inadequate number of hormone receptor.
