Transcription: The thyroid gland, located at the front of the throat, comprises two flaps, one on each side of the trachea, connected to each other by a small bridge called the isthmus. The thyroid gland produces two iodine-containing hormones called tetraiodothyronin and triiodothyronin, which not only influence the metabolism but are also crucial to physical growth, temperature regulation and development.
