Thyroid is a medical term derived from the phrase "thyro-" and the Latin "privus", which means "devoid of anything."
The prefix "thyroid-" indicates a connection with the thyroid gland (from the ancient Greek θυρεοειδής - thyroid). Accordingly, thyroprivate means “lacking thyroid function” or “having a deficiency of thyroid hormones.”
Thyroid status can occur with various diseases and pathological conditions of the thyroid gland:
- Congenital hypothyroidism
- Autoimmune thyroiditis
- Iodine deficiency conditions
- Postoperative hypothyroidism
- Thyroid tumors
Clinically, thyroid status is manifested by symptoms of hypothyroidism: weakness, drowsiness, dry skin, delayed growth and sexual development, decreased intelligence. Diagnosis is based on analysis of thyroid hormones. Treatment consists of lifelong hormone replacement therapy with levothyroxine.
Thyroid is a description of the thyroid gland. It contains important hormones that play an important role in regulating metabolism and maintaining the health of the cardiovascular and nervous systems. However, if the thyroid gland does not function properly, it can lead to serious illness and poor overall health.
The thyroid gland is a small endocrine gland located in the front of the neck. It produces two main hormones - thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones help regulate metabolism, body temperature, growth and development of the body, as well as the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
Thyroid cells of the thyroid gland are divided into two main groups: follicular and parafollicular. The follicular cell synthesizes thyroxine and is responsible for maintaining normal levels of this hormone in the blood. Parafollicular fiber produces triiodothyreodine (T3), which is a powerful metabolic stimulant. This hormone is also involved in regulating mood and cognitive function in humans.
