Oliga [24]

Answer:

An autoimmune problem involving the thyroid gland: C. Graves' disease

Hyposecretion of growth hormone: Pituitary dwarfism

Hyposecretion of the pancreas: E. Diabetes mellitus

Hyposecretion of the adrenal cortex: B. Addison's disease

Hypersecretion of growth hormone: A. Acromegaly

Explanation:

Growth hormone is the hormone from the anterior pituitary gland that targets the tissues such as muscles, bones, cartilage, liver, etc. and stimulates the somatic growth of the body. Its hypersecretion leads to acromegaly in adults while its hyposecretion causes dwarfism in children characterized by stunted growth. There is abnormal thickening of specific bones in acromegaly.  

Pancreatic hormone insulin serves to lower down the blood glucose levels. Insulin deficiency causes diabetes mellitus characterized by higher blood glucose levels in the affected person.  

Hyposecretion of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoid from adrenal cortex causes Addison's disease characterized by rapid weight loss, lower levels of glucose and sodium in plasma while a rise in potassium levels.  

Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease wherein the thyroid gland is stimulated for increased secretion of thyroxine resulting in protruded eyeballs.
