The thyroid gland produces two main hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine and calcitonin minor. The release of thyroxine and triiodothyronine is controlled by the hypothalamus and TSH secreted by the adenohypophysis of the pituitary gland. Thyroxine and triiodothyronine are stored in the thyroid follicles and released as needed to control the body's metabolic rate. Specifically, they act to increase the rate of protein synthesis and the rate of release of energy from carbohydrates. They also regulate the growth rate in young and are associated with sexual maturity and early maturation of the nervous system. Van De Graaff: Human Anatomy, Sixth Edition V. FIGURE 14.18 Integration and Coordination Actions of parathyroid hormone. Increased levels of parathyroid hormone causes bones to release calcium from the kidneys to retain calcium, which would otherwise be lost in the urine, and small intestine to absorb calcium. Negative feedback of calcium in the blood inhibits the increased secretion of this hormone.
