Question
Chapter 36, Problem 11STP
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How a person’s blood calcium levels would be affected if his or her thyroid gland stopped working.
Introduction:
The Thyroid Gland is the two associated lobes shape in the neck A thin band of fabric called the thyroid isthmus binds the lower part of the lobes The thyroid is positioned under the Adam apple that is situated in the front of the neck.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
If the whole thyroid is removed completely it is called a thyroidectomy. If less is taken including the reduction of a lobe, then it is known as a partial thyroidectomy. Hypoparathyroidism is the low calcium levels because of parathyroid hormone detachment decreases from the parathyroid glands adjacent to the thyroid.
Conclusion
Thus, in this way, a person’s blood calcium levels would be affected if his or her thyroid gland stopped working.
