Thyroid Gland Function
The Thyroid gland is a gland in the neck that secretes metabolic hormones important to the growth of the human body. It specifically helps coordinate the creation and use of energy and is by far the largest gland in the neck, helping control our body’s metabolism. Our weight is also monitored by the Thyroid gland, which explains why people with a compromised Thyroid gland will have weight that fluctuates drastically. Even our internal body temperature and our cholesterol levels will be finely tuned with the help of Thyroid hormone release.
