An illustration depicts the posterior aspect of the human thyroid gland with its two lobes joined by an isthmus and four discrete parathyroid glands highlighted on the dorsal surfaces. In the biological hierarchy, these endocrine glands reside in the anterior cervical region, inferior to the larynx and adjacent to the trachea, within the endocrine system of Homo sapiens (human). In human anatomy and physiology/endocrinology, the thyroid secretes thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and calcitonin (CT), while the parathyroids produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) to regulate calcium homeostasis.
