Enlargment of _______ gland takes place due to deficiency of iodine A. Thyroid B. Pituitary C. Adrenal D. Parotid

The correct answer is A. Thyroid.

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that produces hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, and development. Iodine is a mineral that is essential

for the production of thyroid hormones. When there is a deficiency of iodine, the thyroid gland enlarges in an attempt to produce more hormones. This condition is called goiter.

The pituitary gland is a small gland at the base of the brain that produces hormones that control many other glands in the body. The adrenal glands are two small glands located on top of the kidneys that produce hormones that help the body respond to stress. The parotid glands are two salivary glands located in front of the ears.
