Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Goiter specifically refers to the enlargement of the thyroid gland. Adenoma is a type of tumor that can occur in various glands including the thyroid, but it does not necessarily cause enlargement of the gland. Hypothyroidism and myxedema refer to a deficiency of thyroid hormones and their symptoms, but do not necessarily involve enlargement of the gland. Hyperpnea refers to excessive or rapid breathing and is not related to the thyroid gland.
