Explanation:

• Question 13: The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in metabolism. Hypothyroidism (under - active thyroid) is associated with symptoms like excessive fatigue and weight gain. The adrenal gland is more related to stress response (e.g., cortisol production), the parathyroid gland is involved in calcium regulation, and the pituitary gland is a master gland that controls other glands but the direct symptoms of fatigue and weight gain point more towards thyroid function assessment.
• Question 14:
• An enlarged thyroid is called thyromegaly.
• Removal of adrenal glands is adrenalectomy.
• A substance that mimics the function of the sympathetic nervous system is sympathomimetic.
• A glandular tumor is an adenoma.

Answer:

• Question 13: Thyroid
• Question 14:
• Enlarged thyroid - Thyromegaly
• Removal of adrenal glands - Adrenalectomy
• Mimics the function of the sympathetic nervous system - Sympathomimetic
• Glandular tumor - Adenoma
