Q1: Graves disease develops from a(n)
A: ANS: C
Q2: a. Viral infection of the thyroid gland that causes
overproduction of thyroid hormone
A: The pathologic features of Graves disease indicates that normal regulatory mechanisms
are overridden by abnormal immunologic mechanisms that result in the stimulation of
excessive TH. The remaining options are incorrect statements.

overproduction of thyroid hormones

thyroid hormones, causing a goiter
A:
