Question

6.2 Gigantism is a condition in which a person shows abnormal growth for their age. Name the hormone
and the gland responsible for this condition ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gigantism is described as accelerated growth during childhood from the production of excess growth hormone. By definition, gigantism must occur during childhood before the growth plates in the long bones of the body (for example, the femur or humerus) have closed. In adults, the condition is called acromegaly.
