In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, we are positioned to see belonging as paradoxical, in that the positive, human quality of belonging inevitably carries with it the negative and dangerous corollary of exclusion. By belonging, we are automatically excluding others and excluding ourselves from other groups. The Crucible achieves this complex presentation of belonging through a variety of interconnected techniques which will be explored in this essay. These techniques may be categorized into four main groups: conflict, characterisation, heightened language and juxtaposition; conflict being the foremost.

The thyroid gland is found in the front of the neck and produces two main hormones. The hormones are called thuroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3). Together these hormones regulate the body’s metabolism by increasing energy use in cells, regulate growth and development, help to maintain body temperature and aid in oxygen consumption. These two hormones are regulated by hormones produced by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The hypothalamus senses changes in body’s metabolic rate and releases a hormone known as thyropin-releasing hormone (TRH). This hormone then flows through connecting vessels to the pituitary gland which signals it to release another hormone. This hormone is known as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH then makes

Digestion: Low thyroid diminishes the release of Gastrin, which determines the productivity of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, leading to poor protein digestion, sour belly and GERD.

There are mainly two types of hypothyroidism in adults, primary hypothyroidism and secondary (central) hypothyroidism. In primary hypothyroidism, the thyroid tissue gets affected and losses functionality leading to diminished production of TH. Some causes of primary hypothyroidism are endemic iodine deficiency, autoimmune Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis), loss of thyroid function due treatment of hyperthyroidism, medications and radiation therapies around head and neck. On the other hand central hypothyroidism is caused by pituitary malfunction and hypothalamic malfunction. Congenital hypothyroidism occurs in newborns where they lack the presence of thyroid gland or has genetic disorder in TH synthesis. If not identified and treated this can severely effect child’s

According to The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis begins with a physical exam and medical history. A goiter, nodules, or growths may be found during a physical exam, and symptoms may suggest hypothyroidism. Health care providers will then perform blood tests to confirm the diagnosis. Diagnostic blood tests may include the TSH, which, if above normal lab values, means a patient has hypothyroidism. Blood tests also include T4, which is the amount of thyroid hormone in the blood. In hypothyroidism, the blood lab values are lower than normal. The anti-thyroid antibody tests look for presence of thyroid autoantibodies. Most people with Hashimoto’s disease have these antibodies; however, hypothyroidism isn’t always caused

When a person's thyroid is not functioning normally, a blood workup can be done to determine whether that person will need thyroid hormone replacement therapy, especially is the hormones are already too high or too

Through the hormones it produces, the thyroid gland influences almost all of the metabolic processes in your body. 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. Insufficient hormone production leads to hypothyroidism. We choose goiter as our main thyroid disease to discuss in our

The thyroid gland is the largest gland located in the neck. It is positioned in the anterior or front of the neck below the skin and muscle layers. The thyroid gland has the shape of a butterfly with the two wings being characterized by the left and right thyroid lobes which wrap around the trachea. The only role of the thyroid is to make thyroid hormone. This hormone has an effect on almost all tissues of the body where it augments cellular activity. The role of the thyroid, thus, is to regulate the body's metabolism (Norman, 2012).

Thyroid is small-sized organ in front of the human neck. It is a major gland in the

However, the thyroid may be dysfunction due to other reasons. Hormones which produces thyroid gland controls the body's metabolism but its dysfunction can also guess that every organ in the body. When the under-active thyroid, there is a general depression of many cellular systems and oxidative processes in the body which are required for energy. This can reduce

Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland, a butterfly shape in front of the neck, overproduces thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland is abundant with blood vessels and it secretes thyroid hormone (Kumar 22). Thyroid hormone influences many different internal body functions such as, metabolism, growth, development, turning food into energy, and increases body temperature. Thyroid hormone is very important for brain development and normal growth during infancy; furthermore, a newborn’s blood drawn from their heel and sent for screening determines of level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (Samuels 2). However, when the thyroid gland over produces thyroid hormone a lot of things in the body development can go wrong. The over produced thyroid hormone forces the body to expedite. It is important to know that one has hyperthyroidism, because it can result in heart, bone problems, and thyroid storm; which heart rate, blood pressure, and the increase in body temperature can be fatal. Hyperthyroidism is more common in females than males and the older a person is the more likely they will have it. Around 27 millions of American have thyroid disease, however only 14 million receive treatment. Also, stress is the main aspect that affects the thyroid gland in either over producing or under producing thyroid hormone (Kumar 22).

Have you ever wondered what your thyroid does? Well, your thyroid produces hormones to keep your brain and body in balance, such as weight. When your body knows you have thyroid disease it tries to

Central Idea: The thyroid controls so many things in your body and if not well taken care of can cause major damage to a person or their life.

Hypothyroidism is a condition, whereby the thyroid glands are unable to produce enough hormones for the metabolic functions in the body. Scientists say that this condition is linked to diabetes, heart disease, gall bladder disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and kidney disease. It is also
