The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each option and identify whether the diseases listed in each pair are caused by hypersecretion and hyposecretion of the same hormone. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option A: Acromegaly and Dwarfism** - **Acromegaly** is caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. - **Dwarfism** (specifically, pituitary dwarfism) is caused by hyposecretion of growth hormone (GH). - **Conclusion**: This option has one disease caused by hypersecretion and the other by hyposecretion of the same hormone. 2. **Option B: Myxedema and Thyrotoxicosis** - **Myxedema** is associated with hypothyroidism, which is due to hyposecretion of thyroid hormones. - **Thyrotoxicosis** (or hyperthyroidism) is caused by hypersecretion of thyroid hormones. - **Conclusion**: This option also has one disease caused by hypersecretion and the other by hyposecretion of the same hormone. 3. **Option C: Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia** - **Hyperglycemia** is often caused by hypersecretion of insulin (or insufficient action of insulin). - **Hypoglycemia** is caused by hyposecretion of insulin. - **Conclusion**: This option has one disease caused by hypersecretion and the other by hyposecretion of the same hormone. 4. **Option D: Tetanus and Tetany** - **Tetanus** is caused by a bacterial infection leading to muscle contractions and is not related to hormone secretion. - **Tetany** can be caused by low calcium levels (hypoparathyroidism) but is not directly related to a specific hormone's hypersecretion or hyposecretion. - **Conclusion**: This option does not have a pair of diseases caused by hypersecretion and hyposecretion of the same hormone. ### Final Answer: The option that does not have a pair of diseases caused by hypersecretion and hyposecretion of the same hormone is **Option D: Tetanus and Tetany**.
