Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is too active and produces an excess of thyroid hormones. This makes the body's functions speed up and leads to symptoms such as shaking, weight loss and anxiety.
In the UK, about one in 500 men and one in 50 women will develop hyperthyroidism at some point in their lives in the UK. I dont know the facts and figures for other nations.

Growth hormone always exerts its influence by targeting other endocrine glands to produce hormones.
Anterior Pituitary secretes Growth hormone,Thyroid stimulating hormone for Thyroid gland,Prolactin to secrete milk to the baby suckling milk, Adrenocorticotrophic hormone to adrenal cortex,Follicle stimulating hormone and Leutenizing hormone to ovary.
Unlike some medical terminology, this one is kind of straightforward. Thyroid-stimulating hormone is what stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone.
Many things are necessary for the production of thyroid hormone. *Fuel* for the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone however, is iodine.
A hormone is a chemical, not a cell. They thyroid gland that secretes the thyroid hormone (which is called thyroxin) is composed of cells.
The hormone called as thyroid stimulating hormone stimulates the production of the thyroid hormone. It comes from anterior lobe of the pituitary. There is negative feed back system to regulate the hormone production in your body.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are similar glycoproteins. FSH and LH are also called gonadotropins because they stimulate the activities of the gonads.TSH promotes normal development of the thyroid gland and the production of thyroid hormones.Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates the production and secretion of steroid hormones by the adrenal cortex.signals to the brain stimulate release of an anterior pituitary tropic hormone. The tropic hormone then acts on its target endocrine tissue, stimulating secretion of a hormone that exerts systemic metabolic or developmental effects.

Yes! a thyroid gland IS an endocrine gland
The majority of secreted thyroid hormone is T4 - the storage hormone.
No, thyroid hormones are associated with regulating metabolism.
