Gigantism and dwarfirm in humans basically depend on the qualtity and quantity of the food eaten during early growing age.
Harmones ‘obey’ the commands like ‘enough, slow down or ‘two little, speed up’.
Pituitary is popularly called the master gland.
Simple goiter can be prevented by using iodised salt in food.
There are two kinds of diabetes (mild and severe) related with two different hormones.
