Step-by-step explanation:

Its levels are controlled by negative feedback. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland have important roles in detecting and controlling thyroxine levels. Low thyroxine levels in the bloodstream stimulate the hypothalamus to release TRH and this causes the pituitary to release TSH so the thyroid releases more thyroxine.
