The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system. Endocrine glands produce hormones into the blood or lymph systems. These glands include the thyroid, parathyroid, hypothalamus, pineal, pituitary, adrenal, islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, and the gonads (testes and ovaries). The effects of these hormones may affect one organ or tissue, or the entire body.

in brief thyroids are responsible for balancing and regulating many of the bodies functions through the production of hormones.... as above the hormones are carried in the blood stream and thru bio feedback(the brain) make minor adjustments to balance the body and achieve homoeostasis
