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).
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4. We previously learned that thyroid-stimulating hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, which is the important master gland that is responsible for affecting many body organs.o, if there is excess calcium floating around your bloodstream, your thyroid gland produces and secretes calcitonin, which sweeps up the excess calcium and deposits it in your bones. Later on, we will learn about the antagonist of calcitonin, called parathyroid hormone (PTH).
