Thyroid surgery
When the name of the thyroid gland is mentioned, the name of the Jews jumps to our mind and we imagine the neck of a man enlarged from the area of the larynx and its surroundings. What is the thyroid gland, where is its location, what is its function and what is meant by thyroid surgery?
The thyroid gland, called Thyroid Gland, is found in the front of the human neck, where it contains certain cells called the experimental cells. These cells manufacture and secrete two important basic types of hormones:
T4 (the first hormone) thyroxine
T3 (the second hormone) Tri-edithronin
These hormones contain the element of iodine, an important element that depends on food as its main source, and then find stability of most of the element of iodine obtained from the food in this thyroid gland, and then enter the process of manufacturing the previous hormones.
These hormones T3 and T4 have significant and decisive effects on some biological processes in the human body:
First – We find its great role in influencing the metabolism of carbohydrates:
Thyroid hormones increase the level of glucose in the blood while at the same time increasing the oxidation of glucose in tissues, but increased absorption of glucose and increase the conversion of glycogen to glucose is found here exceeds the increase of this oxidation.
Second – Its effect on fat metabolism:
As these hormones increase the breakdown of fat, which in turn increases the proportion of fatty acids in the blood, which leads to a decrease in the level of cholesterol in the blood also.
Third – its role and role in influencing the metabolism of proteins:
As they help to form the protein called Anabolic Protein, but we must note that the large doses of these hormones lead to the break down of proteins, which in turn lead to the lack of nitrogen called
Negative nitrogen balance, which leads to muscle weakness and increase the output of non-protein nitrogen in the urine and also increase the proportion of creatinine in the urine.
Fourthly – These previous hormones play an important role in the process of physical growth and sexual growth, and strengthen sperm in men.
VI. These hormones are of paramount importance in the growth of fetuses during pregnancy and lead to the emergence of congenital malformations and leads especially to the cases of stunting called Cretinism, which is followed by the embryos are short and at the same time congenital malformations.
VI – Some of the other influences:
We find that the thyroid hormones increase and increase the consumption and the need for oxygen in all tissues of the body different except in the thyroid itself, and works to raise the temperature of the body and this increase in temperature due to the significant increase in different metabolic processes in parts of the human body, and helps These hormones also convert carotenoids to important vitamin A and help these hormones also absorb vitamin B, which is no less important than the first.
What are the associated diseases that appear in the body due to abnormalities in the performance of thyroid gland:
The most common diseases are hypothyroidism
People with the disease have a noticeable and significant decrease in temperature and speed in metabolism. They also have a T4 concentration and have a higher concentration of cholesterol in the blood, often accompanied by delayed development in children.
