Growth Hormone deficiency is a medical condition wherein the pituitary gland is not able to produce enough growth hormones also known as somatropins. This can be acquired either in childhood or adulthood. This condition is called hypopituitarism. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.

Answer:

growth hormone deficiency and hypopituitarism

Explanation:

Pituitary gland is responsible for stimulating the release of all the essential hormones from our body. If pituitary hormones are not produced in sufficient amount then a complex problem known as growth hormone deficiency is caused. In absence of multiple pituitary hormones, hypopituitarism is caused.  

Some of the complications caused because of this deficiency are –  

a) Reduced size of body and organs  

b) Lower energy level and density of bone material  

c) High risk of cardiovascular problems

2. Explain how an incorrect choice of dietary information on high blood sugar could potentially affect the patient.
Mkey [24]

Explanation:

Dietary information should inform choices on food intake- incorrect information may lead to mismanagement of blood sugar levels. Poor management of blood sugar levels  in patients may lead to the development of hyperglycemia. While the body requires sugars as sources of energy through respiration, overly elevated blood sugar levels may lead to complications such as:

  • blurry vision
  • frequent urination
  • headaches
  • dry mouth
  • excessive thirst or hunger
  • drowsiness
  • delayed wound healing

These persons may eventually develop type II diabetes, where the body cannot respond to the insulin it produces.  Individuals diagnosed with the condition should monitor their blood sugar and insulin levels closely to protect their limbs. The work of white blood cells and the capacity of bodies to protect against bacteria is hampered in diabetics-rendering them more vulnerable to possible infection.

Carbon Dioxide (or CO2) is produced by the lungs I think because when you inhale, you breathe in oxygen, then you exhale the carbon dioxide in the lungs. That's actually 3 and 4. As for number 2, I want to say either the alvioli or however that's spelled but technically, the entire body uses oxygen so I'm not sure.
