When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces
triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3. This hormone helps to regulate the
metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body.

Triiodothyronine
No, it secretes thyroxine (T4) which is later converted into the biologically active triiodothyronine (T3) which in turn affects cells metabolic rate.
Thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH, stimulates the production of triiodothyronine and thyroxine. TSH comes from the pituitary gland.
No. Thyroxine is also called as tetraiodothyronine. So thyroxine has four iodine atoms and triiodothyronine has three iodine atoms.

The parathyroid produces a hormone called the parathyroid hormone. When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, and thyroxine which is commonly referred to as T4.
The thyroid secretes tetraiodothyronine, along with triiodothyronine, diiodothyronine, and thyrocalcitonin.
