| Description: Mechanism of the thyroid gland showing a stimulus (1) that causes the release of TSH (2) and then the release of thyroid hormone (3). There is an increase in basal metabolic rate (speed by which cells perform their functions (4). This effect creates a negative feedback loop (5) where TSH production is suppressed when T4 levels are high, and vice versa.
