the gland that secretes a hormone whose target tissues are another gland
that it stimulates or suppresses

thyroid hormone, with high fever, extreme tachycardia, and potential
death from heart failure or cardiac dysrhythmias
neurogenic diabetes insipidus Correct Answer-caused by a problem in
the hypothalamus or posterior pituitary that decreased ADH release
nephrogenic diabetes insipidus Correct Answer-caused by a problem in
the kidney itself that causes insensitivity to ADH
acromegaly Correct Answer-occurs with hypersecretion of growth
hormone in adults
gigantism Correct Answer-occurs with hypersecretion of growth
hormone in children and adolescents whose epiphyseal plates have not
yet closed so their long bones are able to grow
SIADH Correct Answer-lethargy, hyponatremia, perhaps seizure,
decreased plasma osmolarity, concentrated urine
Hypothyroidism Correct Answer-lethargy, cold intolerance, hoarseness,
nonpitting boggy edema around eyes, coarse hair, decreased body
