Everything. In children it can cause dwarfism (which causes more chronic problems) if it is not being produced by the pituitary gland. In adults it can lead to fatigue, increase fat production, decrease in muscle tissue, and thinning of bones. Decrease amounts of hormone from the pituitary gland also causes problems with other endocrine glands.

What section of the brain controls human growth?

The hypothalamo-hypophyseal system does. The hypothalamus releases a hormone called GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone) or somatocrinin, which migrates via bloodstream to the front part hypophysis (also known as the pituitary gland) through the hypophyseal stalk. GHRH stimulates the frontal lobe of the hypophysis to secrete growth hormone (mostly when we sleep), which in turn stimulates cell division and growth throughout the body, but most evidently in the muscular and skeletal system. There is also an inhibitory hormone in the hypothalamus, somatostatin, which decreases growth hormone production in the hypophysis.

Explain how the hypothalamus indirectly controls growth from infancy to adulthood?

A part of the brain called the hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary gland to produce growth hormone (GH), which then travels through the bloodstream to function in other parts of the body. GH is one of the things that controls growth from infancy to adulthood.
