What is Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands Overview about?

The thyroid gland, located on either side of the trachea, consists of follicles that secrete thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine, with iodine being essential for hormone regulation. Hypothyroidism can lead to various health issues, including goitre and developmental problems during pregnancy, while hyperthyroidism can cause exophthalmic goitre and weight loss. The parathyroid glands, located at the back of the thyroid, secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH) which regulates calcium levels in the blood.
