Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Goiter (enlargement of the thyroid gland) is an effect of hyperthyroidism, which occurs when the thyroid is overstimulated by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). This can happen if the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient thyroid hormones to turn off the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary. In the body's attempt to produce the needed amount of thyroid hormone, the thyroid is continually stimulated by increasing levels of TSH. There is a deficiency of thyroxine. It is not related to chloride or iodine deficiencies.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Dryvax is the immunization for smallpox disease. Varivax is the immunization for chickenpox infection. YF-Vax is the immunization for yellow fever and RabAvert is the immunization for rabies.
