In a situation where there are an insufficient intake of dietary iodide ,the thyroid-stimulating hormone promotes the enlargement of the thyroid gland. This condition is called A.Graves disease B.goiter C. hyperparathyroidism D. Wilson\'s disease
Solution
Answer : The correct answer is B (Goiter)
Explanation : Any abnormal increase in the size of thyroid gland is known as goiter. Enlargement of thyroid gland is mostly to compensate the decreased synthesis of thyroid hormones and is associated with Elevated TSH. Goiter is primarily due to a failure in the autoregulation of T3 and T4 synthesis. This may be caused by deficiency of Iodine.
