Thyroid Cartilage
|
D013957 |
[The largest cartilage of the larynx consisting of two laminae fusing anteriorly at an acute angle in the midline of the neck. The point of fusion forms a subcutaneous projection known as the Adam's apple.

Thyroid Crisis

D013958 |
[A dangerous life-threatening hypermetabolic condition characterized by high FEVER and dysfunction of the cardiovascular, the nervous, and the gastrointestinal systems.

Thyroid Diseases
|
D013959 |
[Pathological processes involving the THYROID GLAND.
] |
|
Thyroid Dysgenesis
|
D050033 |
[Defective development of the THYROID GLAND. This concept includes thyroid agenesis (aplasia), hypoplasia, or an ectopic gland. Clinical signs usually are those of CONGENITAL HYPOTHYROIDISM.
] |
|
Thyroid Epithelial Cells
|
D000072637 |
[Epithelial cells of the THYROID GLAND that produce and secrete THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE.
] |
|
Thyroid Function Tests
|
D013960 |
[Blood tests used to evaluate the functioning of the thyroid gland.
] |
|
Thyroid Gland
|
D013961 |
[A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.

|
Thyroid Hormone Receptors alpha
|
D037021 |
[An isoform produced by alternative splicing.
, High affinity receptors for THYROID HORMONES, especially TRIIODOTHYRONINE. These receptors are usually found in the nucleus where they regulate DNA transcription. They are encoded by the THRA gene (also known as NR1A1, THRA1, ERBA or ERBA1 gene) as several isoforms produced by alternative splicing.
] |
|
Thyroid Hormone Receptors beta
|
D037042 |
[An isoform produced by alternative splicing.
, High affinity receptors for THYROID HORMONES, especially TRIIODOTHYRONINE. These receptors are usually found in the nucleus where they regulate DNA transcription. They are encoded by the THRB gene (also known as NR1A2, THRB1, or ERBA2 gene) as several isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Mutations in the THRB gene cause THYROID HORMONE RESISTANCE SYNDROME.
] |
|
Thyroid Hormone Resistance Syndrome
|
D018382 |
[An inherited autosomal recessive trait, characterized by peripheral resistance to THYROID HORMONES and the resulting elevation in serum levels of THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE. This syndrome is caused by mutations of gene THRB encoding the THYROID HORMONE RECEPTORS BETA in target cells. HYPOTHYROIDISM in these patients is partly overcome by the increased thyroid hormone levels.
] |
|
Thyroid Hormones
|
D013963 |
[Natural hormones secreted by the THYROID GLAND, such as THYROXINE, and their synthetic analogs.
] |
|
Thyroid Neoplasms
|
D013964 |
[Tumors or cancer of the THYROID GLAND.
] |
|
Thyroid Nodule
|
D016606 |
[A small circumscribed mass in the THYROID GLAND that can be of neoplastic growth or non-neoplastic abnormality. It lacks a well-defined capsule or glandular architecture. Thyroid nodules are often benign but can be malignant. The growth of nodules can lead to a multinodular goiter (GOITER, NODULAR).
] |
|
Thyroid Nuclear Factor 1
|
D000074482 |
[A homeobox protein and transcription factor that localizes to the cell nucleus where it activates expression of thyroid specific genes such as THYROGLOBULIN and the THYROTROPIN RECEPTOR. It is critical for maintaining thyroid tissue in a differentiated state and also plays a role in lung development. Mutations in the NKX2-1 gene are associated with CHOREA, BENIGN HEREDITARY.

Thyroidectomy
|
D013965 |
[Surgical removal of the thyroid gland. (Dorland, 28th ed)
] |
|
Thyroiditis
|
D013966 |
[Inflammatory diseases of the THYROID GLAND. Thyroiditis can be classified into acute (THYROIDITIS, SUPPURATIVE), subacute (granulomatous and lymphocytic), chronic fibrous (Riedel's), chronic lymphocytic (HASHIMOTO DISEASE), transient (POSTPARTUM THYROIDITIS), and other AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS subtypes.
] |
|
Thyroiditis, Autoimmune
|
D013967 |
[Inflammatory disease of the THYROID GLAND due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-CELLS and thyroid AUTOANTIBODIES. The clinical signs can range from HYPOTHYROIDISM to THYROTOXICOSIS depending on the type of autoimmune thyroiditis.
] |
|
Thyroiditis, Subacute
|
D013968 |
[Spontaneously remitting inflammatory condition of the THYROID GLAND, characterized by FEVER; MUSCLE WEAKNESS; SORE THROAT; severe thyroid PAIN; and an enlarged damaged gland containing GIANT CELLS. The disease frequently follows a viral infection.
] |
|
Thyroiditis, Suppurative
|
D013969 |
[Acute inflammatory disease of the THYROID GLAND due to infections by BACTERIA; FUNGI; or other microorganisms. Symptoms include tender swelling, FEVER, and often with LEUKOCYTOSIS.
] |
|
Thyronines
|
D013970 |
[A group of metabolites derived from THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE via the peripheral enzymatic removal of iodines from the thyroxine nucleus. Thyronine is the thyroxine nucleus devoid of its four iodine atoms.
