Role of the thyroid:

The two hormones secreted by the thyroid, T3 and T4, help to maintain body temperature, heart rate, as well as how it uses energy that we get from our food. TSH, produced by the pituitary gland which regulates the other endocrine glands within the body, helps to maintain stable levels of these hormones within the body.
