Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) The thyroid gland is located in the front lower part of the neck. Hormones released by the gland travel through your bloodstream and affect nearly every part of your body, from your heart and brain, to your muscles and skin. The thyroid controls how your body's cells use energy from food, a process called metabolism.ormones released by the gland travel through your bloodstream and affect nearly every part of your body, from your heart and brain, to your muscles and skin.

- A thyroid ultrasound is usually done when you have a growth on your thyroid gland or when a routine exam finds that the thyroid feels big. The exam can help tell the difference between a nodule containing fluid (cyst), and a nodule that is solid and may contain abnormal tissue that may or may not be cancerous (a tumor).

Thyroid Gland Location, Anatomy, Parts and Pictures Thyroid Gland Location, Anatomy, Parts and Pictures. The thyroid gland is the one of the largest endocrine gland in the body lying in the front part of the neck. It plays a central role in the body’s metabolism by secreting the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which increases the basal metabolic rate of cells.

Thyroid Gland Anatomy About thyroid gland anatomy. The thyroid gland is located in the neck. It is described as having a butterfly shape, because it has a right lobe and a left lobe that are connected in the centre by a thinner segment of thyroid tissue, called the isthmus.he carotid sheaths are posterior relations of both the left and the right lobes of the thyroid gland. Further posterior to the carotid sheaths are the vertebrae of the neck, and other nerves, arteries and veins. There are also muscles of the neck, such as the scalene muscles sitting behind the thyroid gland.

- About thyroid eye disease. Thyroid eye disease (thyroid orbitopathy or TO) affects the soft tissues such as the fat and muscles surrounding our eyeball within the eye socket. The condition is characterised by a period of inflammation and swelling of these tissues, followed by a healing response.he commonest problem is dry eyes. This is because, in autoimmune disease, more than one organ may be attacked, and commonly the thyroid and all the orbital contents (the soft tissues around the eye), including your lacrimal gland, are attacked by your immune system.

Ultrasound - Thyroid Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. An ultrasound of the thyroid produces pictures of the thyroid gland and the adjacent structures in the neck.The thyroid gland is located in front of the neck just above the collar bones and is shaped like a butterfly, with one lobe on either side of the neck connected by a narrow band of tissue.ltrasound examinations are painless and easily tolerated by most patients. An ultrasound of the thyroid is usually completed within 30 minutes. During the exam, you may need to extend your neck to help the sonographer (technologist) examine your thyroid with ultrasound.

It usually happens when you have a problem with your thyroid gland. It may also be called thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), thyroid orbitopathy, Graves’ orbitopathy or Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO). The period of inflammation and swelling caused by TED is known as the ‘active’ stage.

Overactive Thyroid What is the thyroid? The thyroid is a 2-inch-long, butterfly-shaped gland weighing less than 1 ounce. Located in the front of the neck below the larynx, or voice box, it has two lobes, one on either side of the windpipe. The thyroid is one of the glands that make up the endocrine system. The glands of the endocrine system produce and store hormones and release them into the bloodstream. The hormones then travel through the body and direct the activity of the body’s cells.

Alternative names for multinodular goitre Multinodular goiter; MNG; nodular goitre. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland sitting in the front of the neck. It is responsible for the production and release of thyroid hormones. Any increase in the size of a part or whole of the thyroid gland is called a goitre. For more information see the article on goitre.

- The secretions of the thyroid gland affect most cells in the body. The growth and secretions of the thyroid are regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secreted by the anterior pituitary, and this is controlled by thyroid-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus.

- Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. It also is called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (theye-royd-EYET-uhss). The thyroid is a small gland in the front of the neck. The thyroid makes hormones called T3 and T4 that regulate how the body uses energy.any people with Hashimoto’s disease have no symptoms for years. An enlarged thyroid, called a goiter, is often the first sign of disease. The goiter may cause the front of the neck to look swollen. You or your doctor may notice the goiter.
