    1. Growth and cellular development
      1. Rate of postanatal growth
        1. Functional and biochemical maturation of foetal brain and bone
          1. Gene switching during development
            1. Regulation of mitochondrial metabolic enzymes and membrane synthesis
            2. Metabolism
              1. Regulation of basal metabolic rate (can control temperature)
                1. Movement of H2O and Na(+) across cell membrane
                  1. Calcium and phosphorus metabolism
                    1. Regulation of cholesterol and lipid metabolism

                        1. Control of glucose metabolism
                      2. Development and strcuture
                        1. During development the thyroid arises from a downward growth from the floor of the pharynx where it develops infront kf the trachea
                          1. Bilobular strucutre in the neck also feature parathyroid glands
                            1. Hstology
                              1. Thyroid follicular cells line colloid filled follicles
                                1. Between each follicle are cells which produce calcitonin (C cells or parafollicular cells)
                              2. Hormones
                                1. Modified dipeptitde (two tyrosines) - requires iodine
                                  1. Source of iodine
                                    1. Milk
                                      1. Iodised salt

                                          1. Nuclear fallout
                                            1. Radioactive iodine concentrates in the thyroid and kills cells
                                          2. Iodine metabolism: there are two main pools of iodine in the body (the thyroid pool and the hormone [T3 and T4] pool)
                                            1. Most of the iodine intake Is excreted in the urine
                                          3. Synthesis and storage
                                            1. Thyroid hormone (T3 abd T4) is made up from two amino acids (Tyr) linked together - they are both iodinated
                                              1. T3 has three iodines attached
                                                1. T4 has four iodines
                                                  1. Each hormone is made and stored in a large (660,000 MW) protein molecule called thyroglobulin
                                                    1. Has many tyrosine residues
                                                      1. Stored in colloid
                                                      2. TSH stimulates thyroid hormone synthesis - which occurs on the thyroglobulins in the colloid
                                                    2. Thyroid hormone structure
