Question 9

After undergoing surgical removal of the thyroid gland,the patient begins to experience severe muscle spasms.What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

A)  Removal of the thyroid gland triggered a release of parathyroid hormone,which caused calcium to move from the bones into the blood.
