Answer:
Acromegaly
Explanation:
The growth hormone from the anterior pituitary gland is responsible for growth and development during the growth years. Once the epiphyseal plates of the long bones are closed, generally a growth in humans is stopped. However, excess of growth hormone present in a human after puberty affects the bones of the face, hand, and feet. These bones become enlarged in response to the presence of excess growth hormone. Also, there is an enlargement of lips, nose, and tongue. This condition is called acromegaly.
