The medial region, called the isthmus, is flanked by wing-shaped left and right lobes. Each of the thyroid lobes are embedded with parathyroid glands, primarily on their posterior surfaces. The tissue of the thyroid gland is composed mostly of thyroid follicles. The follicles are made up of a central cavity filled with a sticky fluid called colloid.

It produces the hormone thyroxine, which influences the rate of growth and development of young animals. In mature animals it increases the rate of chemical reactions in the body.

The medial region, called the isthmus, is flanked by wing-shaped left and right lobes. Each of the thyroid lobes are embedded with parathyroid glands, primarily on their posterior surfaces. The tissue of the thyroid gland is composed mostly of thyroid follicles. The follicles are made up of a central cavity filled with a sticky fluid called colloid.

The parathyroid glands situated adjacent to the thyroid glands in the neck produce parathormone that regulates blood calcium levels and the excretion of phosphates. The follicle cells of the developing ova produce oestrogen, which controls the development of the mammary glands and prepares the uterus for pregnancy.

It emphasizes the roles of major glands like the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, and pancreas, with the pancreas highlighted for its dual function in digestion and hormone regulation. The summary also notes the contributions of organs such as the heart and kidneys, underscoring the intricate complexity of the system.

PTH plays a key role in managing blood calcium levels by promoting bone calcium release, renal absorption, and intestinal absorption via calcitriol. Its release is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism tied to blood calcium levels, with low magnesium levels affecting PTH secretion. However, chronic low magnesium can hinder parathyroid functionality.

It discusses hormone transportation, mechanisms of action, target cell responses, and related conditions. The material provides a structured overview of hormonal regulation and emphasizes the significance of vitamin D.
