Question

Explain the causes and symptoms of deficiency diseases : GOITRE
Class 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

A goiter can sometimes occur when your thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism). In someone who has Graves' disease, antibodies produced by the immune system mistakenly attack the thyroid gland, causing it to produce excess thyroxine. This overstimulation causes the thyroid to swell.

Answer 2

Answer:

goitre commonly develops as a result of iodine deficiency or inflammation of the thyroid gland.
