the Thyroid gland which is located on the front of the neck at the junction of the larynx{ voice box} and the windpipe, secretes hormones that regulate metabolism.
The thyroid gland is one of the glands that regulates metabolism. Specifically it regulates basal metabolic rate.
The Thyroid gland (in the neck),
which (in turn) is controlled by the pituitary (in the brain)
which is controlled by the hypothalamus (a part of the brain).
Thyroid gland produces Triiodothironine and Thyroxine hormones. They decide the basal metabolic rate of body.

The Thyroid.
The body system that secretes hormones is the endocrine system. The organ of the endocrine system that aid in metabolism is the thyroid, which is located behind the trachea.
Calcitonin is another term for thyrocalcitonin, a hormone which regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism.
The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, growth, and calcium uptake. The thyroid gland, located in the neck, also makes proteins and controls the body's sensitivity to other hormones.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone
Iodine is needed to allow the Thyroid glands to work sufficiently... what are thyroid glands?? they are glands under the chin/in the neck that release a hormone that regulates our metabolism.... what happens if we are iodine deficient? our metabolism slows, therefore we get fat
The parathyroid harmone ( produced by parathyroid glands) and calcitonin (produced by the thyroid glands) regulates the calcium metabolism in the body.
The endocrine system are glands that releases hormones into the circulatory system. The circulatory system then carries them into the organs. It regulates blood pressure, metabolism, and reproduction.
enzymes
Stimulates other endocrine glands. Regulates the growth.
the pituitary glands
The parathyroid glands are small endocrine glands in the neck that produce parathyroid hormone. Humans have four parathyroid glands, which are usually located behind the thyroid gland. Parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in the blood and within the bones. The parathyroid gland also regulates the metabolism of both calcium and phosphorus.
Regulates metabolism and creates energy for food
It regulates the metabolism of sugar in the blood.
