An excess of growth hormone in an adult results in?
Giagantism: An overabundance of growth hormone during childhood leads to giagantism. It is a very rare condition that may results from a tumor of the cells that produce growth hormone.
Which hormone is important for bone growth during infancy and childhood?
Growth hormone is the hormone that stimulates bone and muscle growth. It is made in the pituitary gland. It is also known as somatotropin. Growth hormone is responsible for the increase in height in children and adolescents. It also increases bone density and muscle mass, and stimulates organ growth.
Which is not a function of the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus stimulates or inhibits secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland. One of these is GH or Growth Hormone.
What is the frequent cause of oversecretion of human growth hormone?
Pituitary tumors are a frequent cause of over secretion of human growth hormone. Often the tumor is benign, meaning it is not cancerous.
What is the difference between trophic hormones and tropic hormones?
"Trophic" describes any hormone that controls the secretion of another hormone.
What controls the secretion of growth hormone?
The pituitary gland controls the secretion of growth hormone.
What regulates growth through secretion of growth hormone?
Secretion of growth hormone (GH) in the pituitary is regulated by the neurosecretory nuclei of the hypothalamus.
Pituitary dwarfism results from a decreased secretion of?
Human growth hormone
What is target organ of growth hormone releasing hormone?
It acts on inferior pitutory.It triggers secretion of growth hormone.
What is the most important stimulus of epiphyseal plate activity during infancy and childhood?
growth hormone
What hormone is growth spurt?
Growth hormone, secreted by the Pituitary gland, most actively in childhood. In adulthood, the secretion would lead to a 'selective' growth, meaning only certain body parts will enlarge (hands, feet, jaw, for example). That condition is called 'Acromegaly'. More information in related links.

Giagantism: An overabundance of growth hormone during childhood leads to giagantism. It is a very rare condition that may results from a tumor of the cells that produce growth hormone.
How does a person inherit gigantism?
Gigantism is abnormally large growth due to an excess of growth hormone during childhood, before the bone growth plates have closed.
What is the medical term meaning low growth hormone secretion?
hypoparathyroidism
What is the gland that stimulates growth and secretion of hormone from other glands is what?
The Pituitary Gland.
What has the author Michael Collins Cross written?
Michael Collins Cross has written: 'The regulation of growth hormone secretion during different physiologic states'
