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.

Katen [24]

Answer:

An inland location, because land has lower specific heat than water

Explanation:

The specific heat is a measure of how much heat must be supplied to warm up a substance by a certain number of degrees.

Water has a much higher specific heat than land, so it takes much more heat energy to heat up a given mass of water compared to the land.

To say it another way, the specific heat of land is much less than that of water, so it doesn't take as much heat energy to warm up the land.

Thus, an inland location will be relatively warmer during summers.
