Abstract
What is the thyroid gland? The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck. The cells in a normal, healthy thyroid send out hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The brain sends a message to the thyroid (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) that controls production of these two hormones. The thyroid sends them into the bloodstream. The blood carries these hormones everywhere in your child’s body.
