The thyroid gland lies in the front of your neck in a position just below your Adamâs apple. It is made up of two lobes - the right lobe and the left lobe, each about the size of a plum cut in half - and these two lobes are joined by a small bridge of thyroid tissue called the isthmus.
The thyroid gland is located in the middle of the lower neck and, when in its normal state, can't often by felt. The thyroid gland makes hormones that regulate the rate the body carries out some physiological functions.
