The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland inside the neck, located in front of the trachea (windpipe) and below the larynx (voicebox). It uses small amounts of iodine to produce two thyroid hormones – tri iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) – that travel though the blood to all tissues of the body. Thyroid hormones control many aspects of health, including: The body’s “metabolic rate”, body weight and temperature, heart rate and blood pressure, mental alertness and growth in children.
The thyroid gland can become either overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroid).
Other thyroid problems include cancer, thyroiditis (swelling of the thyroid gland), or a goitre, which is an enlargement of the thyroid gland.
