Thyroid-Parathyroid

Thyroid and parathyroid glands are organs that regulate the body's hormonal balance and functions as important parts of the endocrine system. The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck and produces two important hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones regulate body temperature, energy use, and cell growth by controlling metabolic rate. The thyroid gland plays a key role in the body's overall growth, development and energy regulation. Parathyroid glands consist of four small glands located in the neck, near the thyroid gland. These glands produce the hormone parathormone, which controls the levels of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus in the body. Parathormone ensures the release of calcium from the bones, thereby balancing calcium levels in the blood. This is critical for regulating nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and many other cellular functions. Thyroid and parathyroid glands provide hormonal regulation, working together to maintain a complex balance in the body. The normal function of these glands supports the proper functioning of body systems and the maintenance of general health. However, excessive or underactivity of these glands can cause various health problems, so it is important to check the thyroid and parathyroid glands regularly.
