Thyroid Diseases
|
The thyroid gland is situated below the
larynx on both sides of and anterior to the trachea.
Hormones it
secretes are
Thyroxin
(T4)
Tri
iodo thyroxine (T3)
Calcitonin
T4 and T3 are
related to the metabolism of the body.
Calcitonin
is related to the metabolism
of calcium.
These hormones have a deep
effect on the metabolic rate of the body.
If secretion is
less it reduces the basal metabolic rate of body below normal is called as
hypothyroidism. If secretion is more it increases the basal metabolic rate
called as hyperthyroidism. The secretion of thyroid gland is primarily
controlled by thyroid-stimulating hormone secreted by the master endocrine
gland, the Pituitary gland.
Hyperthyroidism
Hyper secretion
of thyroid hormone may be due to autoimmune diseases, called as Grave's
disease. This disease is more frequent in females. In this disease thyroid
gland gets enlarged two-three times its original size, it is called as
goitre. It also causes the eye to protrude (exophthalmoses) and an
abnormally high metabolic rate. The high metabolic rate produces a range
of effects that generally includes higher pulse rate, high body
temperature, heat intolerance, and moist flushed skin. The person loses
weight and is usually full of 'nervous' energy. This condition also
increases the responsiveness of the nervous system, causing the person to
become irritable and exhibit tremors of the extended fingers.
Hypothyroidism
Hyposecretion
of thyroid hormone occurs during foetal life or infancy, or during
adulthood, which are known as cretinism and
myxedema
respectively. It leads to dwarfism and mental retardation. Cretin also
exhibits retarded sexual development and. a yellowish skin color. Flat
pads of fat develop, giving the cretin a characteristic round face and
thick nose; a large, thick, protruding tongue and protruding abdomen. It
lowers the body temperature, slows heart rate and brings general lethargy.
Person suffering from myxedema has sensitivity to cold.
