INTRODUCTION:-

The thyroid gland is composed of two lobes which are located on either side of the trachea.Both the lobes are interconnected with a thin flap of connective tissue called isthmus .The Thyroid gland is composed of follicles and stromal tissues.Each Thyroid follicles is composed of follicular cells, enclosing cavity.These follicles synthesis two hormones tetraiodothyronine or Thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Endocrine glands lack ducts and hence are called ductless glands.
Their secretions are called hormones.
The classical definition of hormone as a chemical produced by endocrine glands and released into the blood and transported to a distantly located target organ has current scientific definition as follows:-
Hormones are non – nutrient chemical which acts as intercellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts.

The endocrine glands and hormone producing diffused tissues/ cells located in different parts of our body constitute the endocrine system.

Pituitary ,pineal, thyroid, adrenal , pancreas , parathyroid , thymus and gonàds are the endocrine bodies in our body.

The pituitary gland is located in a Bony cavity called sella tursica and is attached to thalamus by a stalk.It is divided anatomically into an adenohypophysis and neurophysis.

Adenohypophysis consists of two portions ,pars distalis and para intermedia.

The pars distalis region of pituitary, commonly called anterior pituitary produces , growth hormone (GH) , Prolactin (PRL) , thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),
adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) , luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).

Pars intermedia secrets only one hormone called melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH).

Neurohypophysis also known as posterior pituitary, stores and release two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin ,which are actually synthesized by the hypothalamus and are transported axonally to neurohypophysis.
