gland having two lobes, located in the floor of the mouth
or the region of the larynx, which secretes two hormones
(
thyroxine and
triiodothyronine) that regulate the
rates of growth and metabloism. In man and most mammals it
is a highly vascular organ, partly surrounding the base of
the larynx and the upper part of the trachea. Cases of
hypothyroidism, where the gland is insufficiently active,
can be treated by administration of thyroxine or a
combination of thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
