Chapter 23, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The names of different thyroid hormones.
Introduction: Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid glands present in the front side of the trachea. The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland, and the secretions are released in the blood to reach the target cells. Iodine is a crucial mineral which is used by the thyroid gland as a precursor to produce thyroid hormones.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The name of the thyroid hormone that has the highest activity.
Introduction: Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid glands present in the front side of the trachea. The three different types of hormones produced by the thyroid gland are triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and calcitonin.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The region where thyroid hormone that has the highest activity is mostly produced.
Introduction: Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid. The three different types of hormones produced by the thyroid gland are triiodothyronine(T3), thyroxine(T4), and calcitonin. The highest concentration of thyroid hormone produced is T4 almost 80 % of the T4 is produced by the thyroid gland but the highest activity is shown by T3 hormone.

Create a hormone map. A complete map will include the secretion signal for the hormone, the origin of the hormone, and hormone targets, and the physiological outcomes of hormone increases or decreases within the body. Be sure to indicate feedback loops within your map. Please provide an explanation of the steps within your map and explain why this interaction is important physiologically.
