  Concept 45.4 Endocrine glands respond to diverse stimuli in regulating metabolism, homeostasis, development, and behavior  Thyroid : consists of lobes on the ventral side of the trachea.  Thyroid hormone refers to a pair of similar hormones known as Triiodothyronine(T3) and Thyroxine(T4), which have corresponding iodine atoms T3 has 3 and T4 has 4.  The thyroid mainly produces T4 atoms in humans but the body changes them to T3 because iodine is dedicated to the production of the Thyroid hormone.  Also a dietary iodine is a must. This may be ingested by eating seafood or iodized salts with out this dietary iodine goiter may occur which is a swelling in the neck.

  Sex Hormones  Sex hormones affect growth, development, and reproductive cycles. The gonads produce three hormones which are all produced in both genders just in different proportions, androgens, estro gens, and testosterone.  Testosterone is more prominent in males hence the deeper tone of voice.  Estrogen is more prominent in females hence larger breasts and a higher pitched voice
