Hypersection by an endocrine gland is often caused by what?
- Correct Answer: viruses
- calcium
- inflammation
- tumor
Explanation: Hypersecretion by an endocrine gland is often caused by a tumor. For example, a tumor of the pituitary gland can cause hypersecretion of growth hormone. If this occurs in childhood, it results in very long arms and legs and abnormally tall stature by adulthood. The condition is commonly known as gigantism (see Figure below ).
