Corticoids	Acromegaly
Growth hormone	Goiter
ADH	Diabetes mellitus

Answer 1

A.Insulin (V)Diabetes mellitus

1. Insulin regulates blood sugar levels.
2. Insulin deficiency leads to diabetes mellitus.

B.Thyroxine (IV)Goiter

1. Thyroxine plays a crucial role in heart and digestive function, metabolism, brain development, bone health, and muscle control.
2. Hypersecretion or hyposecretion of thyroxine can be associated with enlargement of the thyroid gland called goiter.

C. Corticoids (I) Addison’s disease

1. Corticoid hormones balance the stress response, energy flow, body temperature, water balance, and other essential processes.
2. The deficiency of corticoids (Glucocorticoid + mineralocorticoid) leads to Addison's disease.

D. Growth hormone (III) Acromegaly

1. Growth hormone regulates the fat, muscle, tissue, and bone in our bodies, and metabolisms such as insulin action and blood sugar levels.
2. Growth hormone hypersecretion in adults leads to Acromegaly.

E.ADH (II)Diabetes insipidus

1. Diabetes insipidus is caused by problems with a hormone called vasopressin, also called antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
2. Vasopressin plays a key role in regulating the amount of fluid in the body.
3. It's produced by nerve cells in a part of the brain known as the hypothalamus.
