1. Thyroid Few side effects, usually only occurs when there is an overdose-symptoms of
Horomone hyperthyroudism
Agonist Drug
Side Effrcts
2. Thyroid Drugs that mimic the effect of thyroid horomones T3 and T4, helping to regulate
Horomone metabolism.

5. Goiter Distinct swelling in the neck. can be present with both underactive and over active
thyroid.
6. Myxedema Severe type of hypothyroidism, and requires immediate medical attention.
7. Metabolism All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism, or the energy use of
each cell and the amount of work performed in the body.
8. Thyroid Gland Endocrine gland located in the front of the neck just below the Adam's apple. It
produces 2 horomones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)
9. Aldosterone Mineral corticoid horomone secreted by the adrenal cortex that regulates sodium
and water balance.
10. Corticosteroids Drugs similar to natural cortisol.
11. Cortisol Horomone secreted by the adrenal cortex, that is essential for life.
