In an accident, the anterior pituitary of a boy was damaged, but boy survived. What is likely to happen?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
The pars distalis region of pituitary, commonly called anterior pituitary, produces growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), luteinizing hormone 
and follicle stimulating hormone.(FSH). Low secretion of GH results in stunted growth resulting in pituitary dwarfism.
