Q

is severe scaring of the liver parenchyma, leading to blood backflow.

A

Cirrhosis

33
Q

pituitary gland is also called

A

the adenohypophysis.

34
Q

Low levels of hGH during the growth years causes bone-growth-plate closure before normal size is achieved. Many organs are small, and the person has a childlike stature. Synthetic hGH produced by recombinant DNA technology in bacteria has resulted in safe, plentiful sources and can prevent this if diagnosed in time.

A

Pituitary dwarfism:

35
Q

Usually caused by functioning pituitary tumors in the already normal adult; causes thickening of bones of the face, hands, and feet (bones can’t get longer after closure of growth centers) and thickening of the tongue, eyelids, and nose.
