Detailed explanation-1: -The thyroid gland produces three hormones: Triiodothyronine, also known as T3. Tetraiodothyronine, also called thyroxine or T4. Calcitonin.
Detailed explanation-2: -The thyroid gland, anterior pituitary gland, and hypothalamus comprise a self-regulatory circuit called the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. The main hormones produced by the thyroid gland are thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
Detailed explanation-3: -Calcitonin is a hormone that your thyroid gland makes and releases to help regulate calcium levels in your blood by decreasing it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thyroid hormone actually represents the combination of the two main hormones that your thyroid gland releases: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). They’re often collectively referred to as “thyroid hormone” because T4 is largely inactive, meaning it doesn’t impact your cells, whereas T3 is active.
Detailed explanation-5: -Calcitonin is a 32 amino acid hormone secreted by the C-cells of the thyroid gland.
