Answer: Thyroid disorders can range from a small, harmless goiter (enlarged gland) that needs no treatment to life-threatening cancer. The most common thyroid problems involve abnormal production of thyroid hormones. Too much thyroid hormone results in a condition known as hyperthyroidism.

Answer:

Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.

Explanation:

Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are thyroid diseases that affect women the most.

Hyperthyroidism (ICD 10 - E05) is a problem in which the thyroid gland produces excess hormones, which impacts on various body functions. Here the gland is overactive, that is, it works in excess. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid produces large amounts of these hormones in a short (acute) or long (chronic) period of time.

Hypothyroidism is, in short, a decrease in the production of thyroid hormones - triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). It is the most common disorder of this gland, which is in the neck area and resembles a butterfly. Its performance reverberates throughout the body, interfering in the heartbeat, the rhythm of the intestine, the mood and the menstrual cycle of women. The release of thyroid substances is orchestrated from the pituitary gland, a structure that is there in the brain.

Answer:

The mole is simply a very large number that is used by chemists as a unit of measurement.

Explanation:

The mole is simply a very large number,

, that has a special property. If I have  

6.022

hydrogen atoms, I have a mass of 1 gram of hydrogen atoms . If I have  

6.022

molecules, I have a mass of 2 gram of hydrogen molecules. If I have  

6.022

C

atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.

The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of  

C

, I know, fairly precisely, how many atoms of carbon I have. Given this quantity, I know how many molecules of  

O

2

are required to react with the  

C

, which I could measure by mass or by volume.

Give reason why wood is solid?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Solid wood is a term most commonly used to distinguish between ordinary lumber and engineered wood, but it also refers to structures that do not have hollow spaces. Engineered wood products are manufactured by binding together wood strands, fibers, or veneers with adhesives to form a composite material.
