Anatomy of the thyroid gland The thyroid arises from a downward outpouching of the floor of the pharynx, and a persisting remnant of this migration is known as a thyroglossal duct. The gland itself consists of two oblong lobes lying on either side of the trachea (windpipe) and connected by...

Thyroid gland, anatomy and physiologyThe thyroid gland is an endocrine organ located in the neck. Its function is to synthesize thyroid hormones, which are secreted into the bloodstream for transport to their target tissues.doi:10.1016/B0-12-475570-4/01288-9WiersingaWilmar M....
Anatomy The thyroid gland is a highly vascularized organ located anteriorly in the neck between the C5 and T1 vertebrae, deep in the platysma, sternothyroid, and sternohyoid muscles. The thyroid weighs 15–20 g and weighs more in men than in women; the thyroid weighs approximately 1 g in ...
Anatomy and physiology of the thyroid gland The thyroid gland is a bilobed organ joined at the isthmus, which is located just inferior to the cricoid cartilage and surrounds the anterior portion of the trachea. The recurrent and superior laryngeal nerves pass near the thyroid gland on their way...
When imaging with a pinhole collimator the thyroid should fit within the central two-thirds of the FOV to prevent distortion of the gland anatomy. Some scintigraphic and RAIU findings are characteristic of specific entities causing thyroid dysfunction, while others are non-specific. Small amounts of...

Why Does Nodule Location Seem to Affect Malignancy Rate? The reason for the increased risk in the upper pole isn't known. The authors theorize that perhaps it's related to anatomy, as venous drainage from the upper lobe is more tortuous and therefore slower than that of the lower lobe. Th...
Any surgeon performing thyroid surgery needs to have intimate knowledge of the anatomy of the thyroid gland and its surrounding structures as well as the large numbers of variations they might encounter. Thyroid hormone plays an important role in the function of practically all human organs and ...
