What else can I help you with?
Will the parathyroid be destroyed in radio-iodine treatment?
No, the parathyroid glands are not typically affected by radio-iodine treatment. The main target of radio-iodine therapy is the thyroid gland, as it absorbs and concentrates the radioactive iodine. The parathyroid glands, located near the thyroid gland, are not involved in this process.
What is the value of distribution coefficient of iodine between water and chloroform?
For Iodine in Chloroform & water, the distribution ratio is 250; hence at equilibrium, the iodine concentration in the chloroform phase is 250 times then in the water phase.
What glands of the endocrine system would be affected by iodine?
thyroid
What does your body need irodine for?
Iodine is needed to allow the Thyroid glands to work sufficiently... what are thyroid glands?? they are glands under the chin/in the neck that release a hormone that regulates our metabolism.... what happens if we are iodine deficient? our metabolism slows, therefore we get fat
On either side of the windpipe are glands that use iodine to produce?
thyroxin
What is the noble gas distribution for iodine?
[Kr]4d105s25p5
Why is lodine getting given to the Japanese?
The thyroid gland absorbs iodine. As some radioactive iodine is being emitted into the environment from the reactor accident at Fukushima, Japan, there is a chance that people's thyroid glands will absorb the radioactive iodine. That is unless those people saturate their glands with enough non-radioactive iodine first so that the thyroid cannot absorb any more.
Can a Doctor take your Thyroid glands out and live without your Thyroid glands?
Lots of people live without thyroid glands, but they have to take synthetic thyroid. Typically the glands aren't surgically removed, they are killed with ingested radioactive iodine.
Is iodine and iodine polar or non polar?
Iodine (I2) is a nonpolar molecule because the two iodine atoms have the same electronegativity, resulting in a symmetrical distribution of electrons and no overall dipole moment.
What is the purpose for iodine test?
The purpose of the iodine test is to detect the presence of starch. Iodine reacts with starch molecules and forms a blue-black color, allowing for visual identification of the presence of starch in a sample.
Where iodine is stored?
Iodine is primarily stored in the thyroid gland in the form of thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). It is also found in trace amounts in other tissues, such as the salivary glands, stomach lining, and mammary glands.
What is the polarity of iodine?
Iodine is a nonpolar molecule because it contains only nonpolar covalent bonds and symmetrical distribution of electrons.
