Answer 2

Dwarfism is caused by growth hormone hyposecretion during the time of skeletal growth. Hyposecretion is the development of no hormones or a hormone that is too tiny.

Explanation:

• Hyposecretion by an endocrine gland is often caused by the destruction of the hormone-secreting cells of the gland.
• Hyposecretion is when an excess of one or more hormone is secreted from a gland. It is when the amount of hormones that are released is too low.
• When Growth Hormone hyposecretion begins after epiphyseal closure, the earliest clinical manifestations are coarsening of the facial features and soft-tissues swelling of the hands and feet.
• Growth Hormone plays a role in healthy muscle, how our bodies collect fat around the stomach, the ratio of high density to low density lipoproteins in our cholesterol levels and bone density.

• The symptoms of growth hormone:

             1. Fatigue.

             2. Less muscle (lean body mass).

             3. Greater sensitivity to heat and cold.

             4. Anxiety and depression.
