Ahh .. the "four horsemen ...." of the thyroid gland are the parathyroids! :)
They are called parathyroids and there are four. They are imbedded in the back quadrants of the thyroid gland. Parathyroids produce parathormone (PTH) which increases Calcium in the blood.
The parathyroid gland is located on the back side of the thyroid gland, as if it is "riding horseback" on it. The parathyroid gland regulates calcium levels in the body by producing parathyroid hormone (PTH). It plays a crucial role in maintaining proper calcium balance for nerve function, muscle contraction, and bone health.
Yes! a thyroid gland IS an endocrine gland

The Thyroid Gland secretes Calcitonin.
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.
A goiter is inflammation of the thyroid gland, also known as the thyroid gland becoming enlarged.
The endocrine gland in the neck is the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are found within the thyroid gland.
The gland that regulates the body's energy use is the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located in the neck, under the thyroid cartilage.
The Anterior pituitary gland secretes the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) this targets the thyroid gland, stimulating the release of thyroid hormones. Thyroid-stimulating horomone(TSH) is secreted by the Pitutary gland( Specifically thyrotrope cells of Anterior pitutary gland). TSH regulates thyroid gland.
Abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland is called goiter.
