Pituitary dwarfism is caused by problems arising from the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, also called the hypophysis, is a gland at the base of the brain that produces many different hormones. This gland is divided into the anterior (front) and posterior (back) halves. The anterior pituitary produces six hormones: growth hormone, adrenocorticotropin (corticotropin), thyroid stimulating hormone (thyrotropin), prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone, and lutenizing hormone. The posterior pituitary gland only produces two hormones: antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and oxytocin.
The growth process begins in the lower part of the forebrain in a small organ called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases hormones that regulate the production of other hormones. When the hypothalamus releases growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), the anterior pituitary is stimulated to release growth hormone (GH). Growth hormone then acts on the liver and other tissues and stimulates them to secrete insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 directly promotes the development of bone and muscle, causing bones to grow in length, and muscles to increase protein synthesis (make more protein).
Since growth is a complex phenomenon, it may be slowed down or stopped by abnormalities arising at any point in the process. Thus, dwarfism can result if there is a deficiency in any of these hormones, if there is a failure in the receptor cells receiving the hormonal stimuli, or if the target cells are unable to respond.
At its most basic, pituitary dwarfism results from decreased production of hormones by the anterior pituitary. When none of the hormones of the anterior pituitary are adequately produced, this is called panhypopituitarism. A common form of pituitary dwarfism is due to deficiencies in the production of growth hormone (GH). When less GH than normal is produced during childhood, an individual's arms, legs, and other structures continue to develop in normal proportions, but at a decreased rate.

<span>Scientist think convection currents are what cause earths plates to move. a convetion current is caused by the diffrence in the temperature, Mantle material close to the earths core is very hot. Mantle material near the lithosphere is cooler.</span>
Answer:
12 : 3 : 1
white : yellow : green
Explanation:
Given that genes A and B control the fruit colour in following ways:
A_B_ or A_bb = white
aaB_ = yellow
aabb = green
The genes undergo independent assortment so:
AaBb X AaBb =
A_B_ : A_bb : aaB_ : aabb
9 : 3 : 3 : 1
white : white : yellow: green
12 : 3 : 1
Hence, ratio of white : yellow : green is 12: 3: 1
Answer:
The correct answer is option C (voltage gated Na+ channels).
Explanation:
Output region or axon terminal is the structure of neuron which transmits the signals to other nerve cells.
The signal is transferred via action potential generated by the dendrite cell which moves along the axon and reaches the synaptic junction.
At the synaptic junction, voltage-gated channel (Na+) channels located in the membrane of the axon terminal cell opens due to the changes in the electric membrane potential which play important role in returning the depolarized cell to a resting state.
Thus, option C (voltage-gated Na+ channels) is the correct answer.
Of course the major needs of a plant is CHLOROPHYLL, because chlorophyll makes the plant green then SUNLIGHT, because the process cant work without energy. Then WATER and CARBON DIOXIDE.
