What is a Thyroid?
How does a thyroid work? Do we love it, do we hate it or do we love to hate it? Can we live without it? Let’s break it down below.
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck, producing hormones that control the body’s metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight.
The thyroid is in charge of energy! Whether you’re a couch potato or a marathon runner, this gland serves as the body’s thermostat, deciding how much energy you should burn and when. Located at your throat, this gland is metabolism central, baby.
Did your thyroid call it quits? Don’t tell your metabolic buddy, but this lil’ gland is easily replaced by a pill. So even if your thyroid has got to go, you will keep on truckin’, no problem.
Your thyroid produces hormones used in a number of systems throughout your body. When your thyroid makes too much or too little of these hormones, it’s called thyroid disease. The American Thyroid Association found that approximately 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid cancer and that 60% of these people are unaware of their condition.
A thyroidectomy is the surgical removal of the thyroid, which is used to treat thyroid diseases and disorders such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, a goiter (the irregular enlargement of the thyroid gland), or thyroid cancer. Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves disease can also throw a wrench into your lil' thyroid's life. Your thyroid can be replaced with a little pill called Synthroid. Sorry, thyroid!
There are several tasty thyroid cancers to choose from: anaplastic (scary), papillary (less scary), follicular, medullary, and Hurthle cell cancer. All thyroid cancers need immediate treatment with an endocrine expert or oncologist.
OK, because we are nerds, I had to look up this dude Karl Hurthle, after whom this granular epithelial thyroid cell is named. Turns out he was a German histologist from Ludwigsburg with a fabulous thick mustache who earned the title "professor extraordinarius" in 1895. That's all you need to know.
If you’re a thyroid cancer survivor, hyperthyroid, hypothyroid patient, or just an endocrine enthusiast, our thyroid plush toy is here to be your essential endocrine pal!
