The thyroid produces thyroid hormones, principally thyroxine (T4) and treeodothyronine (T3). These hormones regulate the rate of metabolism and affect the growth and rate of function of many other systems in the body. Lodine and tyrosine are used to form both T3 and T4. The thyroid also produces the hormone calcitonin, which plays a role in calcium homeostasis.

∙ 11y agoThe thyroid works on a negative feedback system called the hypothalmic-pituitary-thyroid axis (HPT axis) .
When the body isn't producing enough thyroid hormone, the pituitary gland and hypothalamus sense the deficiency and the hypothalamus secretes thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH).
The TRH is sensed by the pituitary which, in response to the TRH and the deficient thyroid hormones, then secretes thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).
When the thyroid senses the TSH, it produces greater amounts of thyroid hormones until body levels are normalized and TSH is decreased, which then slows production of thyroid hormones.

∙ 12y agoThe Thyroid Gland is an endocrine gland (a type of gland) that is located in the neck.
It regulates how quickly energy is used all throughout the body.
It also regulates how sensitive the body should be to other hormones.
And like most other glands, they produce proteins and hormones.
The Thyroid produces mainly: Triiodothyronine and Thyroxine.

What hormone is needed thyroxine production?
thyroxine is produced in the Thyroid gland
What gland produces thyroxine?
Thyroid Gland is the gland that produce the hormone thyroxin.
What is the body's major metabolic hormone?
The Thyroid gland produces thyroxine, which regulates metabolism throughout the body.
Which is the hormone produced by Pituitary gland?
Several hormones are produced by the pituitary gland including the endocrine hormones: Thyroid stimulating hormone, human growth hormone, prolactin, and adrenocorticotropic hormone. Gonadotropins: luietinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. And lastly melanocyte stimulating hormones.
What would be the name of the endocrine gland that is stimulated by thyrotrophic hormone?
The thyroid gland.
What hormone is needed thyroxine production?
thyroxine is produced in the Thyroid gland
Where is thyroid stimulating hormone TSH synthesized?
it is produced in the anterior pituitary gland, which stimulates the release of thyroxine form the thyroid gland
Is the thyroid gland an endocrine gland?
Yes! a thyroid gland IS an endocrine gland
Is pituitary gland related to hypothyroidism?
The thyroid gland is involved in hypothyroidism. Not enough thyroid hormone is being produced. The pituitary gland prduces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and so is related to hypothyroidism.
TSH where is it secreted from?
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced in the pituitary gland which is present in the brain. the gland's anterior lobe secrets this hormone which stimulates thyroid to produce its hormone.
Where is TSH found?
Thyroid secretion hormone is secreted by the thyrotrope cells in d anterior pituitary gland
What hormone does the thyriod secrete?
Thyroxine, or 3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine - T4, a form of thyroid hormones is the major hormone secreted by the follicular cells of the thyroid gland.
Does the thyroid produce parathyroid hormone?
No, parathyroid hormone is produced by the four parathyroid glands which are located on the posterior aspect of the thyroid gland.
What gland synthesizes T3 and T4 hormones?
The hormone that regulates the synthesis and secretion of T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxine) by the thyroid gland is thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis.
What hormones are produced by the thyroid gland?
The main hormone produced here is thyroxine, which controls metabolism in our cells.
Why would TSH have no effect on the metbolic rate of the thyroidectomized rat?
The only effect of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is to stimulate the thyroid gland tissue to produce thyroxine. If there is no longer a thyroid gland to stimulate, the TSH is produced in great abundance, but with no effect.
What hormone is produced by the thyroid gland?
There are two important hormones. They are tyroxine and calcitonin.
