Honestly thought I was going to fail my physiology exam until I started binge watching your videos. My lecturer does not explain things the way you do and the visuals make the learning much easier to comprehend. BLESS THIS CHANNEL!!!!

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland that is located in the front of the neck, below the Adam's apple. It is part of the endocrine system, which is a network of glands that produce and release hormones that regulate many functions in the body. The thyroid produces two main hormones, called thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which control the rate of metabolism, or how the body uses energy. The thyroid also produces a hormone called calcitonin, which helps regulate the level of calcium in the blood. The thyroid needs iodine, a mineral found in some foods and salt, to make its hormones. The production and release of thyroid hormones are controlled by another hormone, called thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is made by the pituitary gland in the brain. When the thyroid is working properly, it maintains a balance of hormones that keep the body functioning normally. However, sometimes the thyroid can become overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism), causing various symptoms and health problems. Thyroid disease is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can be diagnosed with blood tests that measure the levels of thyroid hormones and TSH in the blood. Thyroid disease can be treated with medication, surgery, or radioactive iodine, depending on the cause and severity of the condition.

Thanks , DR. Mike you always explain and break down the information , and make the concept easy to understand .

Your videos have been so helpful while studying for my anatomy and physiology class!! Finally understanding how all of the different bits of information I learn in my lecture are interconnected

Been hearing about TSH, T4 & T3 for a long time, but never really understood how they work until now. Great teaching!

Thank you Doctor Mike your videos deserve millions of views they have helped me understand things no other teacher has been able to explain as clearly

Thank you for being my teacher despite living on opposite sides of the world. Very grateful for your channel and all of the content that you produce. You explain every topic brilliantly. Sincerely thank you so much.

You have a real gift - complex subjects explained with great clarity and engagement. Thank you so much!

u have literally saved my life. the way u explain things is just absolutley perfect, never change ur style. i absolutely love you.

So happy right now, just passed my pharmacology and pathophysiology exam and its all thanx to your videos. i aced the written section...couldnt have done it without ur lectures..Thank u, thank u..

Your videos save me for this coming exam!! thank you so much!! I can understand your videos rather than listening to my prof for 5 hours straight. I hope you create more videos, bless this channel!

Thanks Dr. Mike, this video saved my life. Unfortunately, my teachers cannot explain well during online classes. Thanks a lot for helping us.

Thank you! Your videos are such a life saver for last min preps.

Your tutorials are so very valuable to me!!!!!! I learn so much from each and every one!!! I subscribed to your channel some time ago and I watch every one, sometimes, over and over again. Thank you so much for continuing to post these!!!! (HA) My own Dr. told me the other day " your one of the most intelligent patients I have." It's not me! It's Dr. Matt & Dr. Mike's Medical KZfaq channel!!! Please keep them coming. Again, Thank you!!!

I smashed my quizzes and exam thanks to your videos! I studied by reading and writing notes but your videos made me understand what I was trying to learn! Thank so much xx

I have watched this video several times. You are a fantastic and engaging teacher. I’m so grateful to have you as my “study buddy.”

Best video on this topic Ive found so far!

Your videos are amazing! Thanks for all your hard work!

you are saving my life!!! so so well done and explained

Honestly, u helped me a lot wth ur amazing explanations and mind maps. Thanks alot. I will always give u the credits.

You are super good at explaining. This makes so much sense now! Thank you so much. Your videos are super helpful! :)

Thanks Dr Mike, this was an extremely helpful explanation. The combination of your drawing and words is excellent (and, for me, massively preferable to the format of video in which you see someone's hand drawing on paper/board in pen sped up, I don't get on with that format at all). It's all making a lot more sense now

Your videos are actually saving my life. Ever since i subscribed i never missed any videos u post. Actually i am amazed at how brillantly u explain the every minute details of the topic. Some of the videos are so valuable that even before entering the exam hall i listen to your lecture without touching the book. Really really thank u soo much sir for your hard work. Please keep posting for i eagerly wait for your videos. Thank u!

Thank you so much you made this make sense to me. I've been reading my notes and I was just lost, now I have an understanding! Again, THANK YOU!

BEST MD LECTURE ON THYROID ! GOT ALL INFOR ABOUT THRYOIDISM

Excellent video. Very clear and simple. Job well done!

Many thanks. MCAT studying and this level of detail helps to solidify the details necessary for the MCAT. It is also good prep for medical school.

My uni doesn't offer a single lecture for our pathophysiology paper,,, purely relying on self study and one tutorial a week. I'm heavily replying on your lecture video Dr Mike, so lucky these days have youtube access. Thank you sooooo much !

An amazing teacher with amazing teaching skills!! I love watching your videos. I never got a teacher like u before. Your videos are so interesting that I love 🥰🤩watching them even after a super dreary day. They make my day☺.

Your tutorials are wonderful,thank you so very much 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm letting you know I enjoyed this, Dr. Mike.

You know ! The best explanation of thyroid gland thank you

I'm really appreciate that I know this channel , thank you dr Mike for your hard working, god bless you ❤

thank you thank you thank you very much you have no idea how helpful this was to me

Really amazing. Thank you so much!

The most amazing video and I actually understand what's going on (wish my med school Prof taught like this)!!!

This was very informative. Thank you doctor.

Thank you so much.U are brilliant.U literally just sorted my medical problem.

Excellent thyroid breakdown!

Thank you so much. It was explained very clearly

your videos are the best way to understand and learn.

Glad you still make videos..I am in nursing school now but still come here to watch your videos..thank you..you are amazing

Just too good...you make it looks easy ✅

Wonderful video. Thank you🙏🏼

I've been asked, following a blood test, to visit my doctor regarding my thyroid. Not knowing the first thing about what it is and does, for me your video is brilliant though I will need to run through it a couple of times. As a jazz musician I enjoy breaking things down (structures) and enjoy (musically) seeing how the component parts are put together. With your video, I of course understand that the workings are far more complex, but you do at least show in a very clear way the basics of what the thyroid is and how it functions. Thank you indeed. JC

amazing explanation, as always

This was so helpful Thank you very much

This video helped me so much! Thank you!

Thank you very much. Even it’s not my mother language it was so incredible good that it was fun to me to watch and learn.

You are simple the best ! Thank you

Sir, your video really cleared my all doubts.❤

wow!! what a presentation!! excellent Dr. Mike!!

Amazing dr., lecture, informations and teaching techniques. Thank you for everything❤

Amazing as always✨🙏

Thank you for...this video is awesome

You are the best sir you make it very easy to understand thanks very much ❤

It helps a lotttt for my nutritional biochemistry paper ...really i was searching for best video to explain about thyroxine hormone but i was not that much fulfilled with some video. then at last when i lost my hope to get a good video, this one is suggested for me, but when looking at the length of the video i thought of skiping this but for sure i would say this is the valuable treasure for my whole day search. Thank you sir for this amazing explanation.

absolutely amazing - I have learned so much about hormones. Especially for women in the menopause very relevant!!! Stay on topic - this is th ;-)

wonderful explanation

Thank you Dr.Mike!!! Thank you.

I like to picture the thyroid as some puppet master that controls various functions such as metabolism, digestion, body temp, and so forth with strings. Little does the thyroid know that it is actually itself being controlled by the true puppeteer: the pituitary gland! This analogy really helped it all make sense for me. Love the video by the way!

Wow, so interesting. Thank you!

thank you so much.....helped a lot

Hello, i have been watching your videos since i found your channel 3 months ago and they have been extremely helpful and informative. I was wondering if you could make a video on hashimoto's disease?

This was great., thank you

This info is so darn good, but the volume is too low. It's an older video so maybe you have a more recent version that is easier to hear. Thanks for all your help!

You're a weapon mate - brilliant lecture

nicely explained. tks

Thank you doctor mike🙏

One of my best doctor ❤

This was really helpful Doc.Thank you so much. I only need to learn your accent to get some of the pronunciations lol.Keep it up

It was really educational to watch this as someone with hypothyroidism, my doctor wouldn't listen to me that just because my TSH level is normal I still suffer from all the symptoms and refused a T3, T4 blood test.😊 Now I can give a more educated response in why I think that blood test should be done and better advocate for myself. I am also fascinated by anything medical related and understanding more about different illnesses, diseases. Guess I should have become a doctor 🤔 If a could I would give two thumbs up! 😁

Thank you, dr.

Can you do a video on Hashimoto's disease? How Levothyroxine produces the effects of T3 and T4, is that correct? How long does it take for the levels to decrease and by how much, if a dose is skipped and what happens. Thank you

You… are… AMAZING!! Such a beast!!!

thanks Dr Mike

Thank you so much. Very helpful

so good. i wanna cry. god bless you dr!!!!

Your videos are very amazing... Support from India.....

Sir Your Videos are interesting and Our School uses your videos for explanation.

Thank u so much doc

OMG how do you remember so much, I have to do an exam today and feel like I have forgotten everything.

you are like a god for me thanks a lot sir

We can´t carry out any imaging with a contrast dye without understanding the physiology of the thyroid gland. Otherwhise it could quickly turn lethal... So, thank you for your video :)

thank you so much I am really enjoyed ❤️

Thyroids and platelets! How do they work together?...! I really need to know Invention is the Mother of Necessity.

U are a really good Dr May allah blessed you

Hi, thanks for the video and your podcasts! I just have a little question about goiter. Is it an enlargement of the thyroid due to increased colloid volume, or is it due to hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia? (If anyone else have an answer, please comment, thanks)

Thank you so much from india

Sir can you make detailed video on effects of thyroid hormones

Thank you handsome doctor😭😭u saved my exam

amazing

Okay, first amazing content and comprehensive coverage on the thyroid. But is no one going to talk (and laugh) about that drawing of the brain and pituitary gland. 😅
