Musculoskeletal System
The musculoskeletal system, also called the locomotor system, is an organ system that gives humans and animals the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. It provides stability, form, support, and movement to the body. The skeleton is composed of bones (skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The musculoskeletal system is subdivided into two broad systems, such as the muscular system and the skeletal system.
Skeletal structure
The skeletal system is the core framework of the human body. The skeletal structure comprises bones and connective tissue, including cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. The skeletal structure of our body acts as a support structure. It maintains the body's shape and is responsible for its movement, blood cell formation, protection of organs, and mineral storage. The skeletal system is referred to as the musculoskeletal system.
Mean duration of symptomatic treatment of thyrotoxicosis is:
A. 2-4 weeks
B. 1-2 weeks
C. 1 week
D. 10-12 days
E. 1-2 months
Thyrotoxicosis is defined as the excess amount of thyroid hormone present in the bloodstream and therefore, a low level of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood.
It takes around 2-4 weeks for the treatment of symptomatic thyrotoxicosis because for treating this medical condition iodine, potassium perchlorate, lithium etc are used which block the pre-stored hormone and thus, they prevent the oxidation to take place in the follicular cells and inhibition of thyroid gland will take place. Thus, each of them is taking a different time duration to be effective.
Thus, the correct option is (A) 2-4 weeks.
