33
pituitary gland is also called
the adenohypophysis.
34
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.
Pituitary dwarfism:
35
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.
