How is the secretion of thyroid hormones controlled?
A
pancreas
B
liver
C
pituitary gland
D
thyroid gland
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Regulation of thyroid hormone starts at the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) into the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system to the anterior pituitary gland. TRH stimulates thyrotropin cells in the anterior pituitary to the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

Detailed explanation-2: -Thyroid hormone secretion is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is released from the hypothalamus and stimulates the synthesis and secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

Detailed explanation-3: -Thyroid hormone synthesis is controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis, with initial stimulation coming from the hypothalamus in the form of thyrotropin releasing hormone, or TRH.
