Answer: 1. hypersecretion of thyroid gland

Graves' disease is a form of hyperthyroidism, an autoimmune disease in which antibodies stimulate the thyroid to over-produce thyroid hormones. Symptoms include goitre, bulging eyes (exophthalmos), weight loss and a fast heartbeat.

Hyposecretion of the thyroid causes cretinism or myxoedema. The adrenal conditions are Addison's disease (hypo) and Cushing's syndrome (hyper).
