The thyroid gland releases triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones play an important role in regulation of your weight, energy levels, internal temperature, skin, hair, nail growth, and more. Thyroxine (T4) is produced by the thyroid gland under regulation from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. T3 is a second thyroid hormone that is produced by the thyroid gland but also in other tissues through deiodination of T4. T3 helps maintain muscle control, brain function and development, and heart and digestive functions.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

This leads to dilation of the walls of the respiratory lower respiratory tracts.Thus maximum volume of air is conducted (inhaled) through these tracts to reach the lungs with each inspiration. The rate of diffusion of oxygen across the bronchi walls also  increases with the dilation; with consequent increases in perfusion pressure of oxygen  with   Hb in the blood.
