The endocrine system is composed of the following:

Pituitary gland is involved in gigantism. Pituitary gland produces the growth hormone. Excessive growth hormone released by the pituitary may result to gigantism.

If you are startled by the sound of a loud explosion, the _______________ nervous system will become dominant.
