Answer: Acromegaly

Explanation:

Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder. This disorder develops in the pituitary gland of human beings. It occurs when too much growth hormone is produced during the phase of adulthood.

The increase in release of growth hormone causes the bones to increase in length and width. Thus the hands, face and feet will look enlarged.

Appositional growth is associated with the increase in the diameter of the bone. This is the characteristic feature of the acromegaly. Appositional growth results due to the stimulation of the osteoblasts.

The given situation is an example of acromegaly, as this involves the excessive appositional growth.

Kaylis [27]

Answer: D. Both say our development is continuous and has milestones

Explanation:

Jean Piaget's theory of development focuses on cognitive development and has 4 stages: sensorimotor (0-2), preoperational (2-7), concrete operational (7-11), and formal operational (11+).

Erik Erikson's theory of development focuses on psychosocial development and has 8 stages: trust vs mistrust (0-18 mos), autonomy vs shame and doubt (18 mos - 3 yrs), initiative vs guilt (3-5), industry vs inferiority (5-13), identity vs confusion (13-21), intimacy vs isolation (21-39), generativity vs stagnation (40-65), and integrity vs despair (65+).

Both have specific age milestones for each stage, and they do not stop until death.
