Deficient production of hormones by adrenal glands results in:
Correct answer: B. Addison's disease
- A. Cushing's syndrome
- B. Addison's disease
- C. Diabetes Mellitus
- D. Goiter
- E. Epilepsy
Explanation
Addison's disease is the result of insufficient production of hormones from the adrenal glands, particularly cortisol and aldosterone. This condition leads to symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, and low blood pressure. Cushing's syndrome, in contrast, is caused by excessive cortisol. Diabetes Mellitus involves insulin issues and not adrenal hormones. Goiter relates to thyroid gland issues, and epilepsy is a neurological disorder, both unrelated to adrenal insufficiency.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
