A goitre or goiter is a swelling of the thyroid gland, which can lead to a swelling of the neck or larynx (voice box). Goitre is a term that refers to an enlargement of the thyroid (thyromegaly) and can be associated with a thyroid gland that is functioning properly or not. Worldwide, the most common cause for goitre is iodine deficiency, usually seen in countries that do not use iodized salt. Selenium deficiency is also considered a contributing factor. In countries that use iodized salt, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause.

Conduction is the process by which vital nutrients are transported to the different parts of a plant. This process is independent of the light factor. Respiration process in plants is the intake of carbon-dioxide and exhales oxygen during the day as the plants gets energy through the photosynthesis process in which the carbon-dioxide is converted into sugars using the sun light energy, as this process uses carbon-dioxide and water, the resulting gas oxygen is given out as a waste product. During the night, as the photosynthesis process cannot be happening without sun, so it exhales the carbon-dioxide itself.

In cabbage, the edible part is vegetative bud. Vegetative buds are buds from which vegetative parts like leaves and stems arise, rather than flowers. Enlarged buds or parts of buds form the edible portion of some horticultural crops. Cabbage and head lettuce are examples of unusually large terminal buds.

The veins are the vascular tissue of the leaf and are located in the spongy layer of the mesophyll. They are typical examples of pattern formation through ramification. The pattern of the veins is called venation. The veins are made up of: Xylem: tubes that bring water and minerals from the roots into the leaf; and Phloem: tubes that usually move sap, with dissolved sucrose, produced by photosynthesis in the leaf, out of the leaf. Veins lend support to the leaf tissue, helping it keep its shape, like the ribs of an umbrella help it keep its umbrella shape. They conduct substances within the leaf, rather like the veins in our own bodies conduct blood. So their primary function is the conduction or transportation of nutrients.

Brailing is the practice of preventing a bird from flying by tying the wing so that it is impossible for the bird to open it fully. The brail is a clear plastic strap, fastened by rivets, which will be used to restrain his wing. Brailing the birds helps prevent injuries during shipment.
