31
most common form of thyoird malignancy
papillary carcinoma
32
viral infection of the thyroid that causes inflammation
subacute (de Quervain's) thyroiditis
33
inflammation of the thyroid
thyroiditis
34
carotid; jugular
The thyroid straddles the trachea anteriorly, whereas the paired lobes extend on either side bounded laterally by the _______ arteries and ______ jugular.
35
strap
Along the anterior surface of the thyroid gland lie the _____ muscles,including the sternothyoird, omohyoid, sternohyoid, and sternocleidomastoid.
36
posterior
The parathyroid glands are normally located on the ________ surface of the thyroid gland.
37
calcium-sensing
The parathyroid glands are the _________ organs in the body.
38
PTH
The parathyroid glands produce _____ and monitor the serum calcium feed back mechanism.
39
decrease
When the serum calcium level \_\_\_\_\_\_, the parathyroid glands are stimulated to release PTH.
40
bone; kidneys
PTH acts on \_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_\_, and intestine to enchance calcium absorption.
41
hypercalcemia
Primary hyperparathyroidism is characterized by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, hypercalciuria, and low levels of phosphate.
42
adenoma
Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs when increase amounts of PTH are produced by an _______ primary hyperplasia, or rarely carcinoma located in the parathyroid gland.
43
secondary
A chronic hypocalceia caused by renal failure, vitamin D deficiency (rickets), pr malabsorption syndromes is _______ hyperparathyroidism
44
metabolism; growth; development
The thyroid gland is the part of the endocrine system that maintains body \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, and ________ through the synthesis, storage, and secretion of thyroid hormones.
45
T3; T4; Calcitonin
Theses homormones include \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_, and \_\_\_\_\_\_
46
iodine
The mechanism for producing thyroid hormones is ____ metabolism.
47
TSH
When the body needs thyroid hormone, it is not the bloodstream by the action of thyrotropin, or thyroid-stimulating hormone (\_\_\_\_\_), which is produced by the pituitary gland.
48
pituitary gland
The secretion of TSH is regulated by hypothyroid-releasing factor, which is produced by the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
49
Calcitonin
The concentration of calcium in the blood is decreased by \_\_\_\_\_, which first acts on the bone to inhibit its breakdown.
50
hypothyroidism
Low intake of iodine (goiter) in the body may cause either \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, or the inability of the thyroid to produce the proper amount of thyroid hormone, or a problem in the pituitary gland that does not control the thyroid production.
51
hyperthyroidism
The metabolic rate is dramatically increase \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, clinical signs include weight loss, increased appetite, high degree of nervous energy, tremor, excessive, sweating, heat intolerance, and palpitations and many patients show sings of exophthalmos (protruding eyes)
52
nuclear medicine
How the thyroid is functioning is evaluated by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
53
goiter
An enlargement of the thyroid gland is a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, which is often visible on the anterior neck.
54
multinodular goiter
One of the most common forms of thyroid disease is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
55
Grave's Disease
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is characterized by these findings: hypermetabolism, diffuse toxic goiter, exophthalmos (inflammatory infiltration of the orbital tissue resulting in proptosis, or bulging of the eyes), and cutaneous manifestation (thickening of the dermis of the pretibial areas and the dorsum of the feet).
56
adenoma
A benign thyroid neoplasm characterized by complete fibrous encapsulation is an \_\_\_\_\_\_.
57
papillary cancer
The most common of the thyroid malignancies is ____________ of the thyroid and is the preponderant cause of thyroid cancer in children.
58
homogenous
The normal glad has a fine _______ echotexture that is more echogenic than the surrounding muscle structures.
59
homogeneous
A normal lymph node is oval in shape with a ________ texture with a central core echo complex.
60
longus colli
The __________ muscle is posterior and lateral to each thyroid lobe and appears as a hypoechoic triangular structure adjacent to the cervical vertebrae.
