thyroid gland: n. A two-lobed endocrine gland found in all vertebrates, located in front of and on either side of the trachea in humans, and producing various hormones, such as triiodothyronine and calcitonin. Endocrine gland in the throat that secretes hormones vital to metabolism and growth. Secretion of thyroid hormones mostly thyroxine (T4) is controlled by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), released by the pituitary gland when the level of thyroid hormones in the blood drops below a certain threshold (see endocrine system). These hormones' primary action in adults is to regulate cellular oxygen consumption (metabolic rate). They also lower blood cholesterol and are necessary for normal growth and development in children. The thyroid also produces calcitonin, a hormone that stimulates deposition of calcium from the blood into the bones, balancing the action of parathyroid hormone. See also goitre; Graves disease; iodine deficiency

thyroid-stimulating hormone: hormone which is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates activity in the thyroid gland (Endocrinology), TSH
thyroid.: thyro-
inferior thyroid vein: any of several veins on each side that drain the thyroid gland and empty into the innominate vein
middle thyroid vein: a vein on each side that drains the lateral part of the thyroid and empties into the internal jugular vein
