Bradford, A.(2017). April 20,2017 09:42pm, “Thyroid Gland, Functions, Facts & Diseases”: A Science Contributor. www.livescience.com This Letter is to whom wrote “Thyroid Gland, Functions, Facts & Diseases” and to whom coordinated the editor of the article to have such an article published. I genuinely learned an extravagant amount of health information that is helpful. This letter is my expression of my interest and yet most beneficial propositions.

The Live Science team involves in a dozen and some other members: reporters, support staff and editors, video infographics and copydesk.

Reading Bradford’s article entertained me continuously, involving profound facts regarding the human body about the thyroid function. With the ability to secrete hormones thyroxine(T4), calcitonin, and (T3) into the blood stream. Explaining the fact that hormones manage the speed at which organs and cells develop nutrients into vigor, including the time oxygen cells expenditure. “In this way, the thyroid gland is the body’s master metabolic control center,” said Cindy, Samet, existing as a chemistry professor, serving a presence at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The thyroid can regulate the nerve function development and brain, functions having to do with the hair, skin, heart, and

“Women are particularly at risk for a thyroid issue,”Hershman said. “One in eight women will develop a thyroid disorder during the course of their lives- that’s five to eight times the rate in men.”

Graves’ disease was discovered by Irish doctor Graves’.J.G in (1835). Graves’ disease is a autoimmune disorder, with the immune system attacking the thyroid gland which inappropriately makes it over active. A symptom of a thyroid condition is a protuberance on the neck, located in the center called a goiter. An increase in the heart rate is a symptom as well, according to the National Library of Medicine (NLM).

Hypothyroidism

Is the opposite of graves’ disease, and occurs when not enough hormones are produced by the thyroid gland. Causing the human body’s function to decrease or possibly stop it for good, Hershman said. Another disease that can affect the thyroid is cancer, the journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) was published in 2017, discovered in the 1975’s. In 2013 the amount of thyroid cancer patients diagnosed has tripartite. With the now known knowledge of a swelling or lump on a thyroid gland is labeled a nodule. Some nodules can increase the development of too much hormone, which might be carcinogenic. Stated and researched by the Endocrine Society, [e-mail]. In such medical cases cancerous, the thyroid
