Thyroarytenoid
The thyroarytenoid muscle is a small, thin muscle located in the larynx (voice box) of the human body. It is one of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx and plays a crucial role in vocal cord function and voice production.<br><br>The thyroarytenoid muscle originates from the thyroid cartilage and passes downward to insert into the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage. When the muscle contracts, it relaxes the vocal cords, which changes the pitch and tone of the voice.<br><br>In essence, the thyroarytenoid muscle helps to modulate the tension of the vocal cord, thereby facilitating smooth transitions between different speech sounds and pitches. It also helps to regulate the breathing sound during vocal practices.
Thyrocalcitonin
Thyrocalcitonin is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that helps regulate calcium levels in the blood. It is released in response to high levels of calcium in the blood and works to decrease calcium levels by increasing the excretion of calcium in the urine and reducing bone resorption.
Thyrocele
A thyrocele is a condition where the thyroid gland protrudes or herniates through an opening or weak spot in the diaphragm, creating a bulge or hernia in the neck. This can put pressure on surrounding nerves and blood vessels, and can be caused by various factors such as trauma, surgery, or inflammatory diseases.
Thyrocervical

Relating to the thyroepiglottic valve, a sphincter closing the opening between the larynx and the esophagus.
Thyroglobulin
Thyroglobulin is a protein made by the thyroid gland. It plays a critical role in thyroid hormone production. When the thyroid gland is stimulated to release thyroxine (T4), thyroglobulin acts as a prohormone, splitting into T4 and another hormone, triiodothyronine (T3). Elevated levels of thyroglobulin in the blood are often associated with conditions related to the thyroid, such as goiter, thyroid growth, inflammation, or cancer, requiring medical evaluation and treatment.
Thyroglossal
A word with a strong medical connotation!<br><br>Thyroglossal refers to something related to the thyroglossal duct, which is a developmental tract that forms during embryonic development to connect the thyroid gland to the base of the tongue. Issues with this duct can lead to a condition called thyroglossal duct cyst, which is a congenital anomaly.<br><br>The term "thyroglossal" can also be used as an adjective to describe the gland itself, the duct, or structures derived from it.<br><br>In a broader sense, thyroglossal may indicate a location in the throat area, near the hyoid bone and upper part of the larynx.
Thyrohyal
The thyrohyal muscle is one of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx. It is a small, fibrous muscle that connects the thyroid cartilage to the hyoid bone. The thyrohyal muscle is one of the muscles of the laryngeal elevation or excursion, which helps to elevate the larynx, assisting in breathing and vocalization.
Thyrohyoid
The thyrohyoid is a small, tendinous ligament in the neck. It connects the upper border of the hyoid bone to the inferior edge of the thyroid cartilage. The thyrohyoid muscle, which is attached to the ligament, helps to elevate and move the hyoid bone during swallowing, yelling, and other acts. The thyrohyoid ligament is not to be confused with the deep cervical fascia.

A medical term!<br><br>Thyrotoxicosis is a condition in which there is an excess of thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) in the body, often caused by an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. This can be due to various reasons, including:<br><br> Graves' disease<br> Thyroid nodules or goiter that produce thyroid hormones<br> Thyroid cancer<br> Thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid gland)<br> Medication (e.g. accidentally taking too much thyroid hormone replacement medication)<br><br>Symptoms of thyrotoxicosis can include:<br><br> Weight loss<br> Increased heart rate and palpitations<br> Fatigue<br> Sleeping problems<br> Heat intolerance<br> Anxiety and mood changes<br> Tremors<br> Weakness<br> Ideas of obsessive behavior<br><br>It's essential to seek medical attention if you suspect you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. With proper treatment, which often involves medications to reduce thyroid hormone production or block its effects, symptoms can be managed and preventing long-term complications.
Thyrotropes
Thyrotropes refer to hormones that stimulate the thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormones. Specifically, the thyrotropes are a type of peptide hormone that stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which in turn stimulates the thyroid gland to produce triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4).
Thyrotrophin
Thyrotrophin, also known as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that regulates the production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) by the thyroid gland. It is a polypeptide hormone, consisting of 211 amino acids, and is produced by the thyrotrope cells of the anterior pituitary gland.<br><br>TSH is released into the bloodstream in response to the thyroid hormone levels in the blood, with high levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) suppressing the release of TSH and low levels stimulating their release. In turn, TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce more thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) hormones.<br><br>Dysfunction of the thyroid gland or pituitary gland can lead to abnormalities in the levels of TSH and thyroid hormones, resulting in conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
Thyrotropic
