We're going to plunge into the body now, and we've landed in the thyroid gland.

TSH it makes, if the levels are too low, it will stimulate production of TSH to make the thyroid gland make more thyroid hormone.

Hypothalamus in the midbrain, pituitary gland nestled close by, thyroid, here, pancreas, here, adrenals, here, ovaries, here.

Excess radioiodine that does not get absorbed into the thyroid gland is eliminated by the body in urine.

Propylthiouracil also works outside the thyroid gland, preventing conversion of (mostly inactive) T4 to the active form T3.

The most alarming aspect of this is the increase in the incidence of cancer of the thyroid gland.

And after it leaves the pituitary, it goes into the circulation, and it acts on the thyroid where there are high receptors for TSH on the surface of the thyroid cells, and it stimulates the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormone, typically thyroxine (T4), or triiodothyronine (T3).

Between 1986 and 1992 the number of cases of cancer of the thyroid gland in children increased by a factor of more than 32.

In the same way, you don't have to think about how you work your thyroid gland, or whatever else it is in your organism.

Surgery tends to be done only when just one of the thyroid glands is affected (unilateral disease) however, following surgery, the remaining gland may become over active.

He had seen a variety of internal and external medical specialists, and had had an MRI spinal examination, physiotherapy for his back and an X ray thyroid gland examination.

The pituitary gland is called the master gland because from the pituitary gland we make hormones that work on yet other organs.

If you have a thyroid problem, that actually makes the thyroid problem worse.

So now we're gonna work our way down a bit, we talked about the thyroid gland making the thyroid hormones, and when you get to the pancreas, which is that yellow structure right in the middle, inside of the pancreas there are small islands called the islets of Langerhans, and the islets within the pancreas make endocrine hormones, like insulin and glucagon,

Hypothalamus works with this thing called negative bio feedback so any time that something happens, the temperature changes outside, hypothalamus picks that up, pituitary gland sends a message to the thyroid, all of the sudden, you are adjusting to the temperature.

A gland is an organ in an animal's body that synthesizes a substance such as hormones for release into the bloodstream (endocrine gland) or into cavities inside the body or its outer surface (exocrine gland).

Those are the two main circulating thyroid hormones.

IUCN, Gland, Switzerland, and Cambridge, England, 1991, p. 1.

The normal example, let's take the human mammary gland.

But the ultimate regulation is from that pituitary gland.

What this party needs is a little gland treatment.

This triggers the pituitary gland, a pea sized gland found at the base of the brain, to release adrenocorticotropic hormone which then stimulates the adrenal gland sitting on top of the kidneys to release cortisol, the major stress hormone.

Thyroid hormone is critical to normal function of cells.

An important component of this project is the strengthening of the local capability for the early detection of thyroid cancer and other thyroid diseases.

Lack of dietary iodine causes growth stimulation in the thyroid, and some studies suggest that iodine deficiency increases the risk of radiation induced thyroid cancer.

11 A strategy for Antarctic conservation. IUCN, Gland, Switzerland, and Cambridge, England.

Synthetic TRH is also used by physicians as a test of TSH reserve in the pituitary gland as it should stimulate the release of TSH and prolactin from this gland.

When there is too much thyroid hormone, the TSH will be low.

Diseases of concern are thyroid cancer, benign tumours, autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism.

Two additional sites, namely thyroid and skin, have significant excess incident cancers.

He reportedly suffers from high blood pressure, an enlarged prostate gland and heart problems.

In contrast, thyroid damage may occur at doses as low as about 1 Gy.

20. Of the radionuclides emitting low LET radiation that may enter the body, iodine 131 is the most important, since it is used to diagnose thyroid conditions and to treat hyperthyroidism and thyroid carcinoma.

Gland is a municipality in the district of Nyon in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland.

Potassium iodide blocks thyroid absorption of radioactive iodine, an early risk in a nuclear release.

49. The thyroid project deals with the detection, characterization and treatment of selected thyroid diseases in children living in the strictly controlled areas (where levels of radiocaesium contamination exceed 15 Ci km², or 550 kBq m²).

A silk gland kind of looks like a sac with a lot of silk proteins stuck inside.

If there is too much thyroid hormone, every function of the body tends to speed up.

5. Special attention continued to be given to the incidence of thyroid cancer, particularly in Belarus.

The article described a successful treatment of a patient with thyroid cancer metastases using radioiodine (I 131).

Thyroid hormone is important at a cellular level, affecting nearly every type of tissue in the body.

Thyroid hormone functions as a controller of the pace of all of the processes in the body.

Such materials and patient data are essential for good molecular cancer epidemiology, especially for radiation induced thyroid cancers.

And then you see pretty much the inverse picture when someone has a deficiency of thyroid hormone hypothyroidism.

The transcervical approach, a less invasive procedure, allows for removal of the entire thymus gland through a small neck incision.
