Answer:

Hypersecretion of growth hormone is caused by a disease called acromegaly. The most common symptoms of acromegaly include enlargement of the face and hand, joint pains, heart failure and hypertension.

Explanation:

Acromegaly is a chronic disease in adults that results from the hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) in the pituitary gland. Generally, acromegaly is caused by excessive production of GH due to a benign tumor (i.e., due to a pituitary adenoma). The mean age of diagnosis for acromegaly is 40 years in males and 45 years in females. Clinical symptoms of acromegaly include enlargement of the hands and feet, heart failure, respiratory problems, hypertension, joint pains, diabetes mellitus, vision problems, headaches, etc.

coordination - the ability to use different parts of the body smoothly and efficiently

example: the ability of use your eyes and body during a game of ping pong

speed - how quickly someone can move
