Explanation:

• Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone (overactive thyroid gland).
• Cushing syndrome is caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol (often due to overactive adrenal glands or taking corticosteroid medications).
• Addison disease is due to underactive adrenal glands, resulting in insufficient production of adrenal hormones like cortisol and aldosterone.

Answer:

• Overactive thyroid gland: Graves disease
• Overactive adrenal glands: Cushing syndrome
• Underactive adrenal glands: Addison disease
