Description

Learn about the thyroid changes typical of Graves’ disease through this 3D model. It illustrates diffuse thyroid hypertrophy, which results from autoimmune stimulation of the gland. The model emphasizes the smooth, enlarged appearance of the thyroid rather than nodularity. Graves’ disease is an important cause of hyperthyroidism, and recognizing its characteristic thyroid morphology aids in differentiating it from other goiters. This model allows learners to appreciate how autoimmunity can alter gland structure and produce systemic clinical consequences.
