feedback effect register the decreased level of thyroid hormones in the blood, therefore it increases the releasing of TSH to stimulate thyroid glans to release T3 (tri-iodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxin) hormones. iii.) It appears that the reason for hypothyroidism in this case is long lasting inadequate level of iodine in the diet. Where is no iodine , there is no secretion of thyroid hormones. d.)…

Subsequently, TSH is…
