Surgical removal of the thyroid gland
Greek: thyroid/o (thyroid) + -ectomy (removal)
thyroidectomy is one of 25 endocrine terms in the library. Today's free round is 10 questions drawn across all 441 terms, and today's 25-card deck spans the body systems. Both are free and replayable as often as you like, with a new draw every day.
Premium aims a round or a deck at Endocrine on its own and draws a fresh one whenever you ask, rather than replaying today's, and adds spelling drills and mastery tracking. See Premium plans.
