MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The main hormones produced by the thyroid gland are thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Detailed explanation-3: -The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland in your neck. It makes two hormones that are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Detailed explanation-4: -Its full name is tetraiodothyronine with the molecular formula C15H11NO4I4. It contains 4 iodine atoms-which is why biochemists often abbreviate it to ‘T4’ (so as to differentiate it from other similar molecules with fewer iodines).
