Thyroid Gland 甲状腺
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped organ found at the front of the neck.
It sits just below the voice box and is part of the neck’s soft tissues.
The thyroid gland makes hormones that help control how fast your body uses energy.
These hormones help you stay warm, grow, and keep your heart beating regularly.
If the thyroid gland works too slow or too fast, it can change how you feel or how your body grows.
Eating healthy foods with enough iodine helps the thyroid gland stay strong and healthy.
甲状腺是位于颈部前方、形状像蝴蝶的小器官。
它就在喉咙靠下的位置，是脖子软组织的一部分。
甲状腺能够分泌激素，帮助身体调节能量的消耗速度。
这些激素让你保持体温、正常生长，也帮助心脏有规律地跳动。
如果甲状腺工作太慢或太快，可能会影响身体的感觉和生长。
摄入充足碘的健康饮食，有助于甲状腺健康运作。
