What is Anatomy and Function of the Thyroid Gland about?

The thyroid gland, located in the neck, is a butterfly-shaped structure that plays a crucial role in hormone production, specifically thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3), which regulate metabolism and growth. It requires iodine for hormone synthesis and is controlled by a feedback mechanism involving thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Additionally, calcitonin, secreted by parafollicular cells, helps lower blood calcium levels, opposing the effects of parathyroid hormone.
