Thyroid Gland

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland. It is situated on the front side of the neck at the level of C5 and T1 vertebral bodies, just below the Adam's apple, near the thyroid cartilage over the trachea but covered by layers of skin and muscle. The thyroid is quite large for an endocrine gland - 15-30 grams in adults- and butterfly-shaped: the wings correspond to the lobes and the body to the isthmus of the thyroid.
