What Is Thyroid

Thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland located in, front part of neck below voice box(larynx). This gland creates two thyroxine hormones:
T3 (Total or Free Tri-iodo Thyronine)

When Increased: When Thyroid  hormone is increased in blood then it is called thyrotoxicosis (Hyperthyroidism)
When decreased: When these hormones are low i.e. decreased in blood it is called Hypothyroidism (Myxoedema)
And when thyroid hormone is normal in blood it is called Euthyroid.

In any abnormal case Thyroid gland size may increase than normal size which is ( 2 cm wide & 2 cm. long).
