Growth hormone controls the growth of our body. Growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland. Growth hormone acts on many parts of the body to promote growth in children.
Once the growth plates in the bones ( epiphyses ) have fused growth hormone does not increase height.
♥️ The disease caused due to over secretion of growth hormone is called the gigantism which makes the person very tall.
♥️ The disease caused due to under secretion of growth hormone is called the dwarfism which makes the person very small.
