At other times it may migrate too far and ends up in the chest (this is also rare). The function of the thyroid gland is to take iodine, found in many foods, and convert it into thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which can absorb iodine.These cells combine iodine and the amino acid tyrosine to make T3 and T4.t other times it may migrate too far and ends up in the chest (this is also rare).
