Synopsis

The relationship between the activity of the thyroid gland and our bodies' functions is explained in clear terms in this book. The author, a physiologist, bases the book on a course of lectures given at Stanford University, providing a helpful guide for students and general readers alike. First, the thyroid gland itself is described, with its shape, development, and structure detailed. Subsequently, the mechanisms of the thyroid are explored, particularly the secretion of hormones and their vital contributions to our wellbeing. This book delves into the effects that the thyroid has on the body, discussing the symptoms of both hypo- and hyperthyroidism.
