What causes simple goiter?
A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland that results when the diet is deficient in iodine. TSH keeps "caling" for thyroxine, and the thyroid gland enlarges, but without the iodine the thyroid makes only the peptide part of the molecule which is nonfunctional and thus fails to provide negative feedback to inhibit THS release.
How is the thyroid gland important?
The thyroid glands secrete thyroid hormone (and calcitonin, but it doesn't seem to be terribly important in humans), whose major role is to regulate basal metabolic rate (BMR). It does this indirectly by causing the synthesis of proteins called sodium-potassium pumps that use a lot of energy to make sure that the right electrolytes are distributed inside and outside of cells. The activity of the sodium-potassium pumps account for about 50% of your body's energy requirements at rest.
What is the gland that regulates body temperature and blood pressure?
The hypothalmus gland. The pituitary gland controls body temperature. The hypothalamus is part of the brain (not a gland), and the pituitary gland is a protrusion off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain.
Is goitre hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism?
A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland which is situated at the front of the throat, below the larynx. It is made up of two lobes on either side of the windpipe, joined in front by an isthmus. The thyroid gland secretes hormones that regulate metabolic processes, such as growth and energy expenditure. This gland is controlled by the pituitary gland, which is located in the brain. The pituitary prompts the thyroid to make its hormones including thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3) by releasing a thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). However, if a persons diet is too low in iodine the thyroid can't manufacture hormones. Never the less the pituitary keeps sending chemical messages to the thyroid, without any result . The thyroid gland then enlarges as it unsucsesfuly trys tos to comply with the pituitary's glands instruction. Apart from iodine deficiency, other causes of goiter involve conditions of the thyroid - such as nodules, cancer, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. The symptoms of a goiter include: * Enlargement of the throat, ranging from a small lump to a huge mass. * Swallowing problems, if the goiter is large enough to press on the esophagus. * Breathing problems, if the goiter is large enough to press on the windpipe (trachea).

The Endocrine System means the structure of glands that secrete hormones through the circulatory system into the receptive organs. The main Endocrine glands include; the Adrenal glands, Gastrointestinal tract, the Hypothalamus, the Ovaries, the Pineal gland, the Pituitary gland, the Pancreas, the Parathyroid gland, the Testes and the Thyroid gland. There are other organs in the body, such as the Gonads, Heart, Kidney and Liver which have secondary endocrine functions. The gonads secrete Androgens and Estrogens. The heart secretes Peptins. The kidney secretes Erythropoietin and Renin. The liver secretes Angiotensin and Somatomedin. They all work together as a system that keeps the internal structure healthy. This is not a full list of the structure.
