Detailed explanation-1: -What does the thyroid gland do? The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate the body’s metabolic rate, growth and development. It plays a role in controlling heart, muscle and digestive function, brain development and bone maintenance. Its correct functioning depends on a good supply of iodine from the diet.
Detailed explanation-2: -The thyroid keeps your metabolism under control through the action of thyroid hormone, which it makes by extracting iodine from the blood and incorporating it into thyroid hormones.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thyroid gland produces three hormones: Thyroxine (T4), Triiodothyronine (T3) and Calcitonin. T4 and T3 are what most people think of as “thyroid hormones.” These hormones play a significant role in your metabolism and in energy regulation in the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -Primarily, the function of the thyroid gland is to secrete the T3 hormone (Triiodothyronine ) and T4 hormone (Thyroxine hormone).
