MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Growth hormone deficiency (GHD), also known as dwarfism or pituitary dwarfism, is a condition caused by insufficient amounts of growth hormone in the body. Children with GHD have abnormally short stature with normal body proportions. GHD can be present at birth (congenital) or develop later (acquired).

Detailed explanation-2: -Growth hormone deficiency (GHD, or pituitary dwarfism) is a rare condition in which your pituitary gland doesn’t release enough growth hormone (GH, or somatotropin). GHD can affect infants, children and adults. Children with GHD are shorter than expected with normal body proportions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypopituitarism is when you have a short supply (deficiency) of one or more of the pituitary hormones. These hormone deficiencies can affect any number of your body’s routine functions, such as growth, blood pressure or reproduction. Symptoms typically vary, based on which hormone or hormones you are missing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis The production of thyroid hormones begins with the hypothalamus producing TRH that stimulates the thyrotrophs in the anterior pituitary to secrete TSH. However, somatostatin produced by the hypothalamus causes an inhibitory effect on the anterior pituitary to produce TSH.
