Position of the thyroid gland and its anatomy:-
This gland is situated, anteriorly within the lower neck,
extending from the extent of the fifth neck bone right down to the primary
dorsal vertebra...

Function
It has many functions in our body...
It helps in metabolism in our body
Two hormones of thyroid help to manage hormone Dopamine
and Adrenaline, regulate physical conditions like emotions, fear,
excitements etc.
It helps in the breakdown of the protein and converts it to carbohydrates
and vitamins. so if any problem during this gland can lead to uncontrollable
weight gain.
TSH [thyroid stimulation hormone] is secreted from the pituitary and helps in produce T3 and T4. Because the gland can't produce these hormones by own. So any problem in the pituitary can make problems in the thyroid.
