Answer 1

The 2 main thyroid hormones are T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). T3 and T4 regulate your body's temperature, metabolism and heart rate. The amount of thyroid hormones secreted is controlled by another hormone, called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is released from the pituitary gland in your brain.

⏩ The thyroid hormones are controlled by the TSH ( Thyroid Stimulating Hormone ) present in the pituitary gland .

⏩ The thyorxine hormone secreted by the thyroid gland helps in basal metabolism of the body and also performs other functions like mental development , regulation of body temperature .

⏩ The hypersecretion of the thyroxine hormone results in an increase in basal metabolism while the hyposecretion leads to decrease in metabolism .

⏩ The hypersecretion leads to hyperthyroidism .

⏩ The hyposecretion leads to simple goitre .
