Which disease is represented by excess MSH secretion?
Correct answer: A. Addison's
- A. Addison's
- B. Alzheimer's
- C. Parkinson's
- D. Crohn's
Explanation
In Addison's disease, the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones (including cortisol). As a consequence, the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to release more adrenocorticotropic hormone to try and stimulate the adrenal glands to produce more cortisol. The ADTH hormone can cause the excess secretion of MSH.

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.
