Q: An endocrine disease usually involves the secretion of too much or not enough hormone by which gland?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Diseases of the endocrine system are fairly common. An endocrine disease usually involves the secretion of too much or not enough hormone by an endocrine gland. This may happen because the gland develops an abnormal lump of cells called a tumor. For example, a tumor of the pituitary gland can cause secretion of too much growth hormone. If this occurs in a child, it may result in very rapid growth and unusual tallness by adulthood. This is called gigantism.

 Choices:

- Pituitary

- Thyroid

- Pancreas

- endocrine


A:
endocrine
