The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that rests short on the front of the neck. Your thyroid exists below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, attached by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. When the thyroid is its regular size, you’re not likely to be able to really feel it.

Every cell in the body has receptors for thyroid hormone. These hormones are accountable for the many standard elements of body function, influencing all major systems of the body.
