Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exophthalmos (protruding eyes) and goiter (enlarged thyroid gland) are both associated with hyperthyroidism, which is a disorder of the thyroid gland. The anterior and posterior pituitary glands do not directly control thyroid function, and the parathyroid gland is responsible for regulating calcium levels in the body.
