20. Explain in detail why the thyroid becomes enlarged during
an iodine deficiency?
When there is a low level of thyroxin in the blood, the anterior
pituitary con!nues to produce tsh. The thyroid responds by
increasing in size and producing a goiter, but this increase in
size is ineffec!ve because ac!ve thyroxin cannot be produced
without iodine.
20. Aldosterone is involved in the regulation of sodium and
potassium in the body. Explain how too much aldosterone
could contribute to high blood pressure.
Aldosterone's primary target organ is the kidney, where it
promotes renal absorption of sodium and renal excretion of
potassium. The blood sodium level is particularly important to
the maintenance of blood pressure. Too much sodium causes
retention of fluid and increases blood pressure. Therefore, too
much aldosterone will cause increased and potentially high
blood pressure.
