The thyroid gland produces the hormones thyroxine, triiodothyronine, and calcitonin. Thyroxine and triiodothyronine are produced by thyroid folliclar cells. Thyroid cells absorb iodine from certain foods and combine the iodine with tyrosine, an amino acid, to make thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
The hormones secreted by the thyroid gland are the triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and the thyrocalcitonin which is responsible for the calcium reabsorption or breakdown. T3 and T4 are the two primary hormones responsible for metabolism. The anterior pituitary gland signals the thyroid gland to secrete hormones.he Anatomy.
