Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of teaching molds, in particular to a thyroid physical examination teaching mold. Background Art

[0002] Thyroid disease is a common endocrine disease besides metabolic syndrome and its related components. Its incidence has been increasing over the past two decades, and the incidence in women is higher than that in men. In addition to benign or malignant thyroid nodules, thyroid dysfunction can also manifest as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or thyroiditis. When patients have other non-specific symptoms, an enlarged thyroid gland may be the first clue to abnormal thyroid function. Therefore, although the thyroid gland is small in size and light in weight, a thyroid physical examination is an important part of clinical teaching that cannot be ignored.

[0003] The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck, in an H shape, with left and right lobes and an isthmus. The lateral lobes of the thyroid gland are located on both sides of the tracheal cervical segment of the larynx, and the isthmus is located in front of the 2nd to 4th tracheal cartilages. When swallowing, the thyroid gland can move up and down with the movement of the larynx. Under normal circumstances, it can neither be seen nor touched. The examination of the thyroid gland mainly includes: ① visual inspection of the appearance of the thyroid gland and whether it moves with swallowing; ② palpation of its texture, surface condition, and the presence of tremor, tenderness, etc.; ③ auscultation of the presence of vascular murmurs, etc. Currently, most common physical examination teaching molds do not include neck organs, and students cannot have a more intuitive feeling of the thyroid gland during physical examination teaching.
