GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Thyroxine is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland which controls the body’s basal metabolic rate (BMR). Every cell in the body depends on thyroid hormones for proper metabolism. Too much thyroxine causes a BMR, that is too high. This leads to Graves’ disease, a condition pertaining to an overactive thyroid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thyroid hormone is the hormone that controls your body’s metabolism, the process in which your body transforms the food you eat into energy. The two main hormones your thyroid releases-thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)-collectively make up thyroid hormone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thyroxine is the main hormone secreted into the bloodstream by the thyroid gland. It plays vital roles in digestion, heart and muscle function, brain development and maintenance of bones.

Detailed explanation-5: -T3 and T4 are then released into the blood stream and are transported throughout the body where they control metabolism (conversion of oxygen and calories to energy). Every cell in the body depends upon thyroid hormones for regulation of their metabolism.
