Pick one hormone and discuss where it is produced; name the organ and the specific cells which produce that hormone. What is the target organ? Is there a disease associated with hypo- or hyper- production of that hormone? In your response to others, identify some typical signs and symptoms of a hypo- or hyper- hormone condition of that hormone.
