The thyroid gland is found in the neck below the Adams apple. The gland produces a hormone called thryoid hormone which plays a role in the metabolism of the body. Thyroid hormone influences essentially every organ, every tissue and every cell in the body. It is a butterfly-shaped gland whose two lobes lie on either side of the upper trachea (windpipe) just below the larynx (voice box).
