Question 5 of 5
In growing children, growth hormone deficiency results in short stature and very slow growth rates. Short stature may result from which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Short stature in growing children can result from anterior pituitary gland hypofunction, which leads to growth hormone deficiency. The anterior pituitary gland plays a crucial role in stimulating the release of growth hormone, and when it is underactive (hypofunction), insufficient growth hormone is produced, resulting in short stature and slow growth rates.
