thyroid gland
how does your thyroid gland function in your body?
it produces thyroine which helps you to have a balanced emotion and metabolism. If its lesser than usual it makes you tired and enxious. if too much is produced then you get baggy eyes, gain weight and very tierd all the time
The thyroid plays an important role in regulating the body's metabolism and calcium balance. The T4 and T3 hormones stimulate every tissue in the body to produce proteins and increase the amount of oxygen used by cells. The harder the cells work, the harder the organs work. The calcitonin hormone works together with the parathyroid hormone to regulate calcium levels in the body.
Levels of hormones secreted by the thyroid are controlled by the pituitary gland's thyroid-stimulating hormone, which in turn is controlled by the hypothalamus.
