What is the function of a thyroid gland

Biology
1 answer:
eduard3 years ago
6 0

The thyroid, or thyroid, gland consists of two connected lobes and is an endocrine gland in the neck. A thin band of tissue known as the thyroid isthmus connects the lower two thirds of the lobe. The thyroid is situated under the Adam apple on the front of the arm. The spherical thyroid follicle lined with folliculate cells and, at times, parafollicular cells which surround a lumen containing a colloid is the microscopic function unit of the thyroid gland. Two hormones – triiodothyronine and thyroxine – and the peptide hormone, calcitonin – are released in the thyroid gland.  In calcium homeostasis, calcitonin plays a role. Thyroid stimulatory hormone that is secreted from the anterior pituitary gland is regulated for secretion of the two thyroid hormones. TSH is regulated by the hypothalamus-generated thyrotropin releasing hormone.

3. Chemical chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been banned and replaced with hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).

4. Naturally occurring volcanic eruptions can produce large amounts of gases which contain sulfur. These gases accumulate in the atmosphere in the same way as man-made sulphuroxides.

Osmosis occurs when there is a different concentration of solute molecules on each side of the membrane. The drawing below shows
zzz [600]
The statement that describes the cell after twenty minutes is this: WATER WILL MOVE FROM THE CELL INTO THE BEAKER RESULTING IN A SMALLER CELL.
Osmosis is defined as the process by which the molecules of a solvent move through a semi permeable membrane from the region of lower concentration to the region of higher concentration. For the question given above, the concentration of 30% salt is greater than that of 10% in the cell, so the water molecules will move from the cell [region of lower concentration] into the salt solution [region of higher concentration]. The loss of water will make the cell to shrink and to become smaller.

How does damage to the cells in one organ system affect the function of the other organ systems in the body?
