Gigantism and acromegaly are due to hyperpituitarism. Hyperpituitarism is defined as an excessive secretion or production of one or more of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland. Gigantism - Due to over-secretion of GH stimulates abnormal growth of the body leading to gigantism. Acromegaly - Excess secretion of growth hormones in adults especially in middle age can be result in severe disfigurement (especially of the face).
Gonadotrophins are secreted from anterior pituitary. - Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)are collectively called gonadotropins. - The pars distalis region of pituitary commonly called anterior pituitary, produces LH and FSH.

Posterior pituitary gland
1 Produces and store hormones
2 Stores 6 tropic hormones
3 Stores and releases ADH and oxytocin
4 Release and store growth and thyroid
Explanation:
Posterior pituitary gland stores and releases \(\mathrm{ADH}\) and oxytocin. It is produced in the neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamus. This posterior pituitary is also responsible for storing these two hormones and releasing them into the blood when required : - (i) Oxytocin facilitates childbirth and lactation. (ii) ADH helps in the reabsorption of water in the kidneys.

If the pituitary gland of an adult rat is surgically removed, which of the following endocrine glands will be less affected?
1 Adrenal cortex
2 Adrenal medulla
3 Thyroid
4 Gonads
Explanation:
Adrenal medulla glands will be less affected if the pituitary gland of an adult rat is surgically removed. - The adrenal medulla secretes two hormones called adrenaline and noradrenaline. Both these hormones are rapidly secreted in response to stress of any kind and during emergency situations and are called emergency hormones or hormones of Fight or Flight. So, adrenal medulla won't get effected if pituitary gland of adult rat is surgically removed.
