GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The thyroid gland is a vital hormone gland: It plays a major role in the metabolism, growth and development of the human body. It helps to regulate many body functions by constantly releasing a steady amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypothyroidism, metabolism and obesity. Because the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 control cellular metabolism throughout the body, when there is not enough of them for any reason, this metabolic function slows and becomes impaired.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates metabolic processes essential for normal growth and development as well as regulating metabolism in the adult (28, 40, 189). It is well established that thyroid hormone status correlates with body weight and energy expenditure (80, 127, 143).

Detailed explanation-4: -Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of your neck under your skin. It’s a part of your endocrine system and controls many of your body’s important functions by producing and releasing (secreting) certain hormones.

Detailed explanation-5: -The thyroid gland is located at the front of the neck just below the Adam’s apple (larynx). The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate the body’s metabolic rate, growth and development. The signal comes from a small gland located at the bottom of our brain called the pituitary gland.
