Question no. 01 - 15 : Choose the best answer based on the following readings.

TEXT Sequoyah was a young Cherokee Indian, son of white trader and an Indian squaw. At an early age, he became fascinated by the talking leaf, an expression that he used to describe the white mans written records. Although many believe this talking leaf to be a gift from the Great Spirit, Sequoyah refused to accept that theory. Like other Indians of the period, he was illiterate, but his determination to remedy the situation led to the invention of the unique eighty-six-character alphabet based on the sound patterns that he heard. His family and friends thought he mad, but while recuperating from a hunting accident, he deligently and independently set out to create a form of communication for his own people and other Indians. In 1821, after twelve years of work, he had succesfully developed a written language that would enable thousands of Indians to read and write.

Exocrine glands secrete their products through ducts, but endocrine glands, or ductless glands, release their products directly into the bloodstream. One important endocrine gland is the thyroid gland. It is in the neck and has two lobes, one on each side of the windpipe. The thyroid gland collects iodine from the blood and produces thyroxine, an important hormone, which it stores in an inactive form. When thyroxine is needed by the body, the thyroid gland secretes it directly into the bloodstream. Thyroxine is combined in the body cells with other chemicals and affects many functions of the body. The thyroid gland may be underactive or overactive, resulting in problems. An underactive thyroid causes hypothyroidism, while overactive one causes hyperthyroidism. The former problem, called myxedema in adults and cretinism in children, causes the growth process to slow down. A cretins body and mind do not grow to their full potential. Hyperthyrpoidism, on the other hand, results in extreme nervousness, an increase in heart action, and other problems. Either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism may result in goiter, or an enlarge thyroid gland. A goiter will appear when the body is not getting enough iodine. Goiter is less common today, since most people use iodized salt. 08.
