| Q: Outline role of thyroxin, growth hormone, androgens and estrogens on growth ============ Answer ====
Thyroxine: essential during fetal and early life growth. It is essential for growth of nervous tissue and different tissues. Thus, its diffeciency in this period causes mental retardation, infantilism, and delayed growth.
Growth hormone: it is important for growth during, childhood and adulthood. It acts indirectly through somatomedin C synthesized by liver under control of growth hormone. Thus, growth hormone deficiency causes dwarfism. But, its excess before union of epiphysis causes giantism and after union of epiphysis causes acromegally.
Androgens are essential for growth of sex organs during fetal life. Aso, it is essential for growth at time of puberty and it is responsible for growth spurt in males. Also, it is responsible for closure of epiphyseal plate and stoppage of linear growth of bone.
Estrogen is essential for growth at puberty in female for primary and secondary sex organs. It is responsible for growth spurt in females. Also, it is responsible for closure of epiphyseal plate and stoppage of linear growth of bone.
====== For more details, refer to my lecture "Growth patterns", the topic "Hormonal control of growth". ======
