The thyroid follicular cells synthesise two hormones, tetraiodothyronine or thyroxine \({\text{(}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{) }}\) and triiodothyronine \({\text{(}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{) }}\) and thyrocalcitonin.

A pregnant female delivers a baby who suffers from stunted growth, mental retardation, low intelligence quotient and abnormal skin. This is the result of
1 Cancer of the thyroid gland
2 Oversecretion of pars distalis
3 Deficiency of iodine in diet
4 Low secretion of growth hormone
Explanation:
Iodine is required for the synthesis of \(T 3\) and T4. Therefore deficiency of iodine in the diet of pregnant women will lead to improper synthesis of thyroid hormones in the new born child.

The blood calcium level is lowered by the deficiency of
1 Both calcitonin and parathormone
2 Calcitonin
3 Parathormone
4 Thyroxine
Explanation:
Parathyroid hormone \((\mathrm{PTH})\) increases the \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\) levels in the blood. PTH acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption
