Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholecalciferol is a form of vitamin D and is not a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Therefore, Kristin will not need to be supplemented with cholecalciferol after the removal of her thyroid gland. However, she will need to be supplemented with triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and possibly calcitonin, which are hormones produced by the thyroid gland.
