What are the glands that affect metabolism?
First we have the thyroid gland; this gland helps regulates body metabolism or the rate of which glucose is oxidized. Next is the parathyroid gland, which helps regulate calcium levels in the blood and lower phosphate levels. And there is the the growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. The hormone influences the growth of long bones and accelerate protein synthesis.
How do T3 and T4 control metabolism?
T3 and T4 is a hormone from the thyroid gland, which is the metabolism center. Those are the hormones that control how slow or fast your metabolism goes. If there is less T3 and T4, your metabolism goes down because there aren't enough hormones to make it go the normal rate. Vice versa, if you have too much, your metabolism goes faster.
What is the name of the gland that wraps around the front part of the throat at the Adam's apple and that produces hormones that influence the growth and development of the body?
This gland is the thyroid. There are two hormones that co-influence growth and development.Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3) whichincreases rate of energy release from carbohydratesincreases rate of protein synthesisaccelerates growthstimulates activity in the nervous systemcontrolled by TSH

What gland stimulates metabolic rate and is essential to normal growth and development?

What are the general actions of triiodothyronine?
When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it producestriiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3. This hormone helps to regulate themetabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body.Related Article: The Functions of the Thyroid

Hormones produced by the body. The thyroid gland plays a big part in making these.
What part of the nervous system is responsible for speeding up metabolic process?
