The correct answer is: A. Increase growth in length.
The pituitary gland is a small, pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain. It is often called the “master gland” because it produces hormones that control many other glands in the body.
One of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland is growth hormone (GH). GH is responsible for stimulating growth and development in children and adolescents. It also helps to maintain muscle mass and bone density in adults.
If the pituitary gland produces too much GH, it can cause a condition called gigantism. Gigantism is
a rare condition that causes people to grow to an abnormally large size. People with gigantism are typically taller than 7 feet tall.If the pituitary gland produces too much GH after puberty, it can cause a condition called acromegaly. Acromegaly is a condition that causes the bones of the hands, feet, face, and jaw to grow abnormally large. People with acromegaly may also experience changes in their voice, sweating, and skin texture.
There are several treatments for gigantism and acromegaly. The most common treatment is surgery to remove part of the pituitary gland. Other treatments include medication and radiation therapy.
B. Unbalanced development of body is not a direct effect of oversecretion of hormone from pituitary gland. However, it can be a secondary effect of gigantism or acromegaly. People with these conditions may experience changes in their body proportions, such as a large head and small hands.
C. Body became curve is not a direct effect of oversecretion of hormone from pituitary gland. However, it can be a secondary effect of gigantism or acromegaly. People with these conditions may experience changes in their body posture, such as a stooped back.
D. None of the above is not the correct answer.
