What is the response of the pituitary gland in a person who is deficient in iodine?
The pituitary gland will release more thyroid stimulating hormone if iodine is lacking in the diet. The thyroid gland will enlarge in an effort to respond to the TSH. The enlargement (goiter) can be large enough to cause problems for the person with the low iodine. One of the reasons that table salt has iodine in it is due to number of goiters that were see. Afterwards, the numbers dropped.

How does a person get iodine?
A person can get iodine through their diet by consuming iodine-rich foods such as seafood, dairy products, and iodized salt. Iodine supplements are also available for those who have difficulty obtaining enough iodine through their diet.
Why would a person have thyroid problems if their pituitary gland was damaged?
The pituitary gland is known as the *master gland* and controls the function of all other glands. If the pituitary is dysfunctional, it may adversely affect thyroid function as well.
If allergic to iodine can a person put drops with povidone in their eye?
If a person is allergic to iodine, they should not use eye drops that contain povidone iodine. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for alternative eye drop options that are safe for individuals with iodine allergies.
What is the option response is and who gives it?
The option response might refer to a single response in a list of response options. The person who gives the option response would be the person who is asked the question.
If a person has an inactive pituitary gland at birth what effects would this condition have on the body?
An inactive pituitary gland at birth can lead to deficiencies in crucial hormones such as growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and cortisol. This can result in stunted growth, developmental delays, and problems with metabolism and stress response. Treatment typically involves hormone replacement therapy to manage these deficiencies.
Where is iodine stored in the body?
Iodine is stored throughout the body, including in the muscles and bones. The thyroid gland concentrates the iodine from throughout the body; it is essential for proper growth and development.

What is Levi lorain dwarf?
A Lévi-Lorain dwarf, also known as a pituitary dwarf, is a person whose growth is slowed due to a deficiency of growth hormones caused by a malfunction of the pituitary gland. Pituitary dwarfs have normal mental function, no facial or skeletal deformations and properly proportioned bodies.
Why table salt is called iodized salt?
Table salt is iodized (that is, iodine is included via sodium iodide or potassium iodide) because people used to be unable to get enough iodine from their diets, and iodine is necessary for a person's thyroid gland to work properly. Since the thyroid is responsible for growth and immunity, people with thyroid deficiency had dramatic problems including dwarfism and goiter (a lump on the front of the throat where the thyroid gland resides). As a result of these problems, iodine was added to table salt (NaCl). These days, it is actually more likely that a person will develop iodine toxicity (i.e. overdose on iodine) because a typical person's salt intake is SO high above what we need for sodium or iodine. One sign of iodine toxicity is greasy skin and pimples.
