After one to ask about a couple questions that I have coming up in an exam soon.
Cheers!

Where I need to describe anatomically and physiologically the body's response to the irradiated iodine/iodine isotopes. Including the endocrine system, cardiovascular system, immune system and whatever else it may effect.
Are you a doctor haha?

Radiation - Hypothalmaus release more thyrotropin releasing H (TRH) into APG > APG release more thyroid stimu H (stims thyroid H synth/secretion). TH synth – thyroglobulin (Tg) synthed by T follicular cells, secreted into colloid by exocytosis > T follicular cells capture iodide from blood via I pump > I activated, moves into colloid > in colloid I attaches to tyrosine within Tg and yields monoiodotyrosine (MIT) and/or 2 I attach to tyrosine within Tg molecule, gives DIT > coupling of MIT and DIT = T3 and/or 2xDIT = T4 > after stimu, TFC engulf 1xTg molecules by phagocytosis > lysosomes attack engulfed vesicle, split iodinated products from Tg > T3/4 diffuse to blood, MIT/DIT deiodinated, free I recycled > thus metabolic activity increases due to hyperthyroidism (HR, weight, anxiety)
