__**Thyroid**__

The Thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland is inferior to the larynx. The Thyroid gland produces Thyroxine(T4) and Triidothyrine (T3). Both contain iodine. Thyroxine contains 4 iodines and Triidothyrine contains 3 iodines.

__**Thyroxine and Triidothyrine Hormones**__ Thyroxine and Triidothryrine hormones is responsible for metabolic rate, metabolism of carbohydrates fats, protiens, electrolytes, and water. Also, aids in vitamin requirements.


 * __ Goiters Disease __**



__** Goiters Disease **__ Goiters disease is a disease that is caused by low levels of T3 and T4. As mentioned before, these hormones contiain levels of Iodine, and Goiter's Disease is caused by low levels of iodine. This causes the Thryroid gland to swell and have a circular shape. In order to prevent Goiters Disease have high levels of iodine in diet. Created by: Karen Velasco  __Thyroxin & Thyroid Stimulating Hormones & Thyroid Releasing Hormone__   1. Location: The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is secreted in the Pituitary Gland, which consists of two distinct parts: a posterior lobe and an anterior lobe underneathe the hypothalamus. The posterior lobe is made out of nervous tissue and is actually an extension of the hypothalamus. It stores and secretes the hormones made in the hypothalamus. The anterior lobe, is composed of non-nervous and glandular tissue. The anterior lobe synthesizes its OWN hormones, which control the activity of endocrine glands. The hypothalamus controls the anterior lobe by secreting two kinds of hormones into the bloodstream. The release of of hormones makes the anterior lobe secrete more hormones. 

 2. Main purpose: The anterior lobe of the Hypothalamus directs the activity of the Thyroid gland. This Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the Thyroid gland. 3. Disease associated with it: are Hypothyroidism ->, Goiter -> , and Thyroid nodule ->.
