pituitary galnd :)
The Pituitary glands: The pituitary gland secretes growth hormones, which stimulates division of cartilage cells in the epiphyseal plates. In the absence of this hormone, the long bones of the limbs fail to develop normally and the child has pituitary dwarfism. He or she is very short but has normal body proportions. If excess growth hormone is released before the epiphyseal plates ossify, height may exceed 8 feet- a conditoin called pitutary gigantism. -Hole's Anatomy & Physiology p 201

A common scientific name for dwarfism is "achondroplasia." This is a genetic disorder that affects bone growth and results in short stature.
I think Dwarfism is mostly due to decreased secretion of growth hormone from the anterior pitutary.
Hypopituitarism is a condition where the pituitary gland does not produce enough hormones. Dwarfism, on the other hand, refers to a condition where an individual is significantly shorter than average. While some cases of dwarfism can be caused by hypopituitarism, they are not the same thing.
Of course not ! He is A Sikh
it depends on which gender has dwarfism so if the women has dwarfism the she could have a baby that has dwarfism
He had giantism
Midget is an outdated and offensive term used to describe individuals with dwarfism. Dwarfism is a medical condition that results in shorter stature due to genetic factors. It is not accurate or respectful to attribute a person's height solely to their condition.
There is no treatment for dwarfism. It is permanent.
Hornswoggle's size, which is smaller than the average adult, is due to a condition called dwarfism. Dwarfism is a genetic or medical condition that results in a person being significantly shorter than average.
