The thyroid gland is a vital hormone gland, it plays a major role in the metabolism, growth, and development of the human body. It helps to regulate many body functions by constantly releasing a steady amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream. The thyroid gland is found at the front of the neck, under the voice box. It is butterfly-shaped: The two side lobes lie against and around the windpipe (trachea) and are connected at the front by a narrow strip of tissue. Is the above statement True or False?
