Thyroid Gland1. Thyroid hormone
Major metabolic hormoneComposed of two active iodine-containing hormonesThyroxine (T4)—secreted by thyroid follicles
Triiodothyronine (T3)—conversion of T4 at target tissues

Thyroid Hormone DisordersGoiters
Thyroid gland enlarges In U.S., rarely see goiters due to lack of iodine because we use “iodized” salt

Antagonistic to parathyroid hormone
Produced by parafollicular cells

to absorb more calcium

Adrenal GlandsSit on top of the kidneysTwo regions
1. Adrenal cortex—outer glandular region has three layersA. Mineralocorticoids secreting areaB. Glucocorticoids secreting areaC. Sex hormones secreting area
2. Adrenal medulla—inner neural tissue region. When stimulated, it releases EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE
