An over secretion of the growth hormone (GH) which causes an increase in overall body size, especially in the extremities. It is also commonly called “Gigantism”.
Dwarfism
Diabetes insipidus
Acromegaly
Graves disease
An under secretion of the growth hormone (GH) which causes a person's adult height to be less than 4ft.
acromegaly
hyperthyroidism
myxedema
dwarfism
An under secretion (hypo) of the antidiuretic hormone(ADH) which targets the kidneys causing them to reabsorb water from urine. Leading to excessive thirst.
Graves' disease
Diabetes insipidus
Acromegaly
Myxedema
An overactive thyroid is called Hyperthyroidism and is normally shown with a visibly enlarged thyroid gland in the neck called a -
bulge
goiter
myxedema
hypocalcemia
An over secretion of thyroid hormones that causes the eyes to bulge forward. This can lead to loss of vision and making it impossible to close the eye
Goiter
Myxedema
Graves' disease
Neonatal Hyperthyroidism
A condition in adults with hypothyroidism that causes weight gain; a swollen puffy face; low body temperature ; dry skin and decreased mental acuity.
Acromegaly
Hypercalcemia
Myxedema
Hypothyroidism
An hypersecretion of PTH causes too much calcium in the blood. This leads to increased blood calcium levels and increased calcium absorption by the kidneys.
Hyperthyroidism
Acromegaly
Hypercalcemia
Tetany
Adult onset diabetes is called -
Diabetes Mellitus Type I
Diabetes Mellitus Type II
Diabetes Mellitus
none of these
This condition is characterized by the body’s inability to produce sufficient amounts of insulin to regulate blood glucose levels.
Diabetes Mellitus
Acromegaly
Myxedema
Hypothyroidism
In this condition insulin receptors won’t even take up glucose even when glucose is present, so blood glucose levels become elevated in a condition known as -
Diabetes Mellitus
insulin resistance
Hypoglycemia
Hypocalcemia
Using fats and proteins for fuel produces ketone bodies that decrease the pH of the blood making it dangerously acidic. This condition is known as
insulin resistance
acidosis
ketoacidosis
Graves' disease
People with diabetes type II who develop this condition, which causes a loss of feeling in the extremities, must take particularly good care of their feet.

hypoglycemia
myxedema
