What is the hormone whose production in inadequate amounts results in tetany?
excess calcitonin or decreased parathormone
What is a condition caused by insufficient production of the antidiuretic hormone or by the inability of the kidneys to respond to the antidiuretic hormone?
Diabetes insipidus.
Is tetany caused by hyposecretion of the thyroid?
No, the condition is caused by deficiency of the parathyroid gland.
How can hypothyroidism be caused by viruses and bacteria?
Infections that depress thyroid hormone production usually cause permanent hypothyroidism.
What hormones are in Lantern jaw and large hands and feet in adult?
Lantern jaw and large hands and feet in adults can be characteristic of acromegaly, a hormonal disorder caused by excessive growth hormone (GH) production in adulthood. This condition is usually the result of a noncancerous tumor in the pituitary gland, which controls hormone production. The excess GH leads to enlargement of bones and tissues, resulting in the lantern jaw, large hands, and feet commonly associated with acromegaly.

excess calcitonin or decreased parathormone
What is aldosterone?
A disorder caused by excessive production of the hormone aldosterone, which is produced by a part of the adrenal glands called the adrenal cortex
What is hormone responsible for?
Tetany is caused by a disturbance of the blood calcium level. So you can say vitamin D (also considered a hormone) plays a role in it. Also, the parathyroid hormone level has a direct effect on calcium levels.
A deficiency of parathyroid hormone can cause involuntary muscle contractions of a type called?
Tetany is the term for the muscle contractions that may be caused by hypoparathyroidism.

Diabetes insipidus.
Chronic disorder caused by inadequate production or use of insulin is a?
diabetes melitus
Is tetany caused by hyposecretion of the thyroid?

What is the disease that your insides grow but not your outsides?
Acromegaly is a disorder where there is abnormal growth of bones and tissues in the body, caused by excess production of growth hormone. This leads to enlargement of internal organs and bones, but not necessarily noticeable changes in physical appearance or height.
What is Pseudohypoparathyroidism?
Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a condition caused by resistance to the parathyroid hormone. Patients have a low serum calcium and high phosphate, but the parathyroid hormone level is appropriately high.Type 1a pseudohypoparathyroidism has a characteristic phenotypic appearance (Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy), including short fourth and fifth metacarpals and a rounded facies.Type 1b pseudohypoparathyroidism lacks the physical appearance of type 1a, but is biochemically similar.The term pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism is used to describe a condition where the individual has the phenotypic appearance of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a, but is biochemically normal.hypocalcemiahyperphosphatemiaelevated parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism) [1]1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudohypoparathyroidism
