The thyroid gland secretes three hormones鈥攖hyroxin, triiodothyronine, and calcitonin. Thyroxin and triiodothyronine control metabolism in most cells of the body. Calcitonin regulates extracellular calcium levels and controls deposition of calcium in bone. There are commonly four parathyroid glands located...

thehomeostasis, growth, and metabolism functions of the body through communicating with different parts of the body via the action of different hormones, such as thyroxin, corticoids, sex hormones, and other hormones secreted from endocrine glands including the adrenal gland, thyroid gland, and ...
The epithelium forms various parts of the glands, wherein some, it forms the parenchyma while in others it lines the ducts and surface of the gland. The secretions of endocrine glands, called hormones, diffuse into the bloodstream without flowing through a duct. ...
