Gigantism
and acromegaly are the two diseases resulting from hyper function of the
pituitary gland.
Gigantism
and acromegaly are conditions that are nearly always due to a pituitary adenoma
that is because of excessive secretion of a growth hormone called hypersomatotropism.
<span>If GH
hypersecretion begins in childhood, before closure of the epiphyses pituitary
gigantism occurs. It is a rare condition where skeletal growth velocity and
ultimate stature are increased, but little bony deformity occurs. However,
soft-tissue swelling occurs, and the peripheral nerves are enlarged. Hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism and deferred puberty is also normally present, resulting in a
eunuchoid habitus. While Acromegaly
occurs after the growth plate cartilage fuses in adulthood, it is the same
disorder of IGF-I excess but in acromegaly, an unadorned disease that morbidity
and mortality rates are high because its often diagnosed late, where the
disease is associated with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory
disorders and malignancies. </span>

<h2>
Liver cell Vs Nerve cell</h2>
Explanation:
- b. liver cells can reproduce while the nerve cells cannot.
Liver cells , the fundamental units of liver are called hepatocytes. Hepatocytes secrete bile that helps in digestion by emulsifying fats. Hepatocytes are capable of dividing and they can regenerate damaged parts of the liver.
In contrast,
Nerve cells, the fundamental unit of nervous system are neurons. Neurons are longest cell of the human body and they contain a cell body and a long axon. Neurons conduct nerve impulses. Neurons are incapable of dividing and hence once damaged neuron cannot be replaced.
