Match the following words to choices below.
dwarfism, Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome, hypoglycemia, type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes
1. increased secretions of cortisol
2. Controlled by a healthy diet and exercise
3. Insulin production decreases or fully stops
4. Increased production of adrenal corticoid hormone
5. Increased production of growth hormone
6. Elevated blood glucose levels
Cushing's syndrome is caused due to the increased secretion of cortisol from the adrenal gland. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled by healthy diet and exercise, whereas the type 1 diabetes needs to be controlled with administration of insulin into the blood as the production of insulin stops. Decrease or stop in insulin is also termed as hypoglycemia.
But the options "dwarfism" and
"Addison's disease" are not having their correct
matches.
Dwarfism is caused by decreased
production of growth hormone
Addison's disease is caused by
decreased production of adrenal corticoid
hormone
Thus the points 4 and 5 do not have their correct matches in the
question.
Following are the correct matches -
1. increased secretions of cortisol - Cushing's syndrome
2. Controlled by a healthy diet and exercise - type 2 diabetes
3. Insulin production decreases or fully stops - hypoglycemia
4. Increased production of adrenal corticoid hormone -
5. Increased production of growth hormone -
6. Elevated blood glucose levels - type 2 diabetes
