Question

question 22
what is a result of the pituitary producing too much growth hormone?
hypopituitarism
addisons disease
acromegaly
cushings syndrome

question 23
what is the state of under - production of thyroxine from the thyroid gland?
myxedema
goiter
acromegaly
hypothyroidism

question 24
the thyroid hormone that regulates carbohydrate metabolism is:
parathormone
oxytocin
thyroxine
cortisol

Explanation:

• Question 22: Acromegaly is caused by excessive growth hormone production by the pituitary gland in adults. Hypopituitarism is a deficiency of pituitary hormones. Addison's disease is related to adrenal gland dysfunction. Cushing's syndrome is due to excess cortisol.
• Question 23: Hypothyroidism is the under - production of thyroxine (thyroid hormone). Myxedema is a severe form of hypothyroidism in adults. Goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland (can be due to various reasons including iodine deficiency or thyroid dysfunction). Acromegaly is a growth - hormone related disorder.
• Question 24: Thyroxine (also known as T4) is a thyroid hormone that plays a role in regulating carbohydrate metabolism. Parathormone (parathyroid hormone) regulates calcium levels. Oxytocin is a hormone involved in childbirth and lactation. Cortisol is a stress hormone produced by the adrenal gland.

Answer:

• Question 22: Acromegaly
• Question 23: Hypothyroidism
• Question 24: thyroxine
