Overview of Thyroid gland The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate the body's metabolic rate, growth and development. It plays a role in controlling heart, muscle and digestive function, brain development and bone maintenance. Its correct functioning depends on a good supply of iodine from the diet. 10-04-2024 ROHILKHAND COLLEGE OF NURSING 3<br>
