Iodine is the element required for the synthesis of the hormones in the thyroid gland. The element combines with thyrosine protein in the follicular cells of thyroid gland to produce two hormones:tri-iodidethyronine(T3) also called throxine and tetra-iodidethyronine(T4) T3 is more stable and reactive than T4;hence T4 is converted to T3 in blood circulation writen by wilfred wilbard Iodine is the element required for the synthesis of the hormones in the thyroid gland.

Many trace elements are important parts of?
Trace elements are needed by the body to keep it healthy and functioning properly. They are primarily required in small amounts for enzymes and hormones.
Trace elements are those required by an organism in only minute quantities Which of the following is a trace element that is required by humans and other vertebrates?
iodine
What elements give you the required elements?
Some of the required elements required by the human body include oxygen, and trace minerals such as; iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and many others.
Is a trace element an essential element Explain?
No ------------ Trace elements are required by an organism in small amounts. Some trace elements such as iron (Fe) are needed by all forms of life, others are only required by certain species, for example; For vertebrates (animals with a back bone) the element iodine (I) is an essential ingredient of a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. A daily intake of only 0.15mg of iodine is adeqate for normal activity of the human thyroid. An iodine deficiency in the diet causes the thyroid gland to grow to an abnormal size, a condition called goitre. eating sea food or iodised salt reduces the incidence of gotire.
