Ghunga disease is caused by whose hyperactivity ?

Correct option is A

1. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism and growth.

2. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) leads to an excess of thyroid hormones, affecting the body's metabolism.

3. In cases of Cretinism, the overactivity of the thyroid can result in developmental delays, intellectual disability, and physical abnormalities.

4. Iodine deficiency is a major cause of thyroid-related diseases, including cretinism.

5. The condition is most often seen in regions with iodine-deficient soils, affecting individuals who do not consume enough iodine-rich foods.

6. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent severe developmental issues in affected individuals.

• Parathyroid gland : The parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels, and their dysfunction can lead to conditions like hyperparathyroidism, not Ghunga disease.

• Thyroid gland (thymus) : The thymus is involved in immune function, not thyroid hormone production, so it is unrelated to Ghunga disease.

• Pituitary gland : The pituitary gland regulates other endocrine glands, including the thyroid, but its hyperactivity does not cause Ghunga disease.
