Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that
develops when your pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone during adulthood. When this happens, your bones increase in size, including those of your hands, feet and face. Acromegaly usually affects middle-aged adults
Answer:
b) Increased growth in length
Explanation:
Having an overactive pituitary gland is called hyperpituitarism. It is most commonly caused by noncancerous tumors. This causes the gland to secrete too much of certain kinds of hormones related to growth, reproduction, and metabolism, among other things.
In other words,
When the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormones the result is excessive growth, called acromegaly. The excessive growth occurs first in the hands and feet, as soft tissue begins to swell.
