Correct answer: A. Cushing's Disease
- A. Cushing's Disease
- B. Diabetes Mellitus
- C. Hypoglycemia
- D. Addison's Disease
Explanation
Cushing's Disease is caused by excess production/release of the cortisol hormone in the adrenal glands. The disease caused by the over-secretion of cortical hormones (specifically glucocorticoids) is called Cushing's disease. Cushing's disease is a condition characterized by excessive production of cortisol, which is a type of glucocorticoid hormone. It is typically caused by a tumor or abnormality in the pituitary gland, which leads to overstimulation of the adrenal glands and increased production of cortisol. Cushing's disease is a condition characterized by excessive production of cortisol, which is a type of glucocorticoid hormone.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
