Answer:
A. Identify which gland in the endocrine system is involved in each dysfunction and explain the effect of hormonal imbalance that was observed.
1. Dwarfism ☑️☑️
2.Gigantism
3.Goiter
25) If the pituitary gland or the hypothalamus is malformed or damaged, it may mean that the pituitary gland can't produce growth hormone. If the pituitary gland is lacking in multiple pituitary hormones, the condition is called hypopituitarism.
26) In adults, excessive growth hormone for a long period of time produces a condition known as acromegaly, in which patients have swelling of the hands and feet and altered facial features. These patients also have organ enlargement and serious functional disorders such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.
27) The noticeable swelling in the front of the neck of a person suffering from goiter is due to the inflammation of the thyroid gland. Also, antibodies secret in autoimmune disease attack the thyroid gland and result in the formation of goiter.
28) Your thyroid gland uses iodine to produce thyroid hormones, which aid in tissue repair, regulate metabolism and promote proper growth and development
29) A person with endocrine dysfunction affect her /his life so much, because the homeostasis is unbalanced, the state, is it can't attained any regulation of body function , the glands which is typically provide various hormones can affect various process in our body would be unstable, a failing of homeostasis may lead to different disease and even death.

Answers for "SCIENCE ACTIVITY 5: What Went Wrong?"
A. Identify the endocrine gland involved in each dysfunction and explain the effect of hormonal imbalance that was observed.
1. Dwarfism – Pituitary gland (Growth hormone deficiency due to damage to the pituitary gland or growth hormone insensitivity)
- Effect: Extremely short body with short limbs or short torso or both.
2. Gigantism – Pituitary Gland (over production of growth hormone, may be due to tumor growths)
- Effect: Unusual growth and height significantly above average
3. Goiter – Thyroid Gland (iodine deficiency)
- Effect: Swelling in the neck caused by enlargement of the gland.
Answers for Q25 - Q29:
Q25. Slow growth, delayed puberty, stunted growth resulting in dwarfism.
Q26. Gigantism (Unusual growth and height) or acromegaly (enlargement of the hands and feet may be along with enlargement of the forehead, jaw, and nose.
Q27. It's because of iodine deficiency. Iodine is required for the production of thyroid hormones and when there is a deficiency, the gland enlarges to obtain more iodine.
Q28. As iodine is required for the production of thyroid hormones, consumption of iodized salt manages its deficiency and results in adequate production of thyroid hormones.
Q29. Endocrine disorders have a vast and serious impacts on the patients. The symptoms and effects vary according to the gland(s) affected and the hyposecretion and hypersecretion of the hormones. Overall, the homeostasis or the physiological balance of the body will be altered resulting various syndromes and sometimes even death.
