The plexus of veins on the forepart of the neck is pushed downwards, and the isthmus of the thyroid gland, if it exist, is displaced slightly upwards; thus the rings of the trachea are cleared.
The proposal to tie the thyroid arteries, for the cure of bronchocele, has been put in practice, but without a favourable result.
Between this and the thyroid axis the vessel was occupied by a dark coagulum, which, as it was loose, was probably formed only a short time before death.
Others divide the muscles, and branches of the lingual or of the superior thyroid arteries; such wounds are gaping, more extensive than the former, and accompanied with smart hemorrhage.
In the museum at Chatham is a larynx showing fracture of the thyroid cartilage from the kick of a horse.
During the latter part of the dissection, the laryngeal nerves and thyroidarteries must be looked for and avoided.
Obstacles may also be presented by the thyroid and other veins being distended, and the soft parts are perhaps tumid and infiltrated with serum.
The œdematous swelling of the rima glottidis is remarkable; beyond that is seen the rounded opening betwixt the thyroid cartilage and epiglottis, which is in a normal state.
Some penetrate the mouth, separating the os hyoides, tongue, and epiglottis from the thyroid cartilage.
Luxation of the hip downwards and forwards, the head of the femur lying in the thyroid foramen, is generally produced by a fall under a heavy load, the thigh being at the same time forcibly abducted.
It may be that a dairy breeder can soon select calves for potential milk production because of thyroid activity as measured by radioactive iodine.
Future high-producing milk cows may be selected as calves, because of the measured activity of their thyroid glands.
Using radioactive iodine, scientists learned that thyroid activity increases with the onset of milk and egg formation.
Recognition of the significance of the thyroid gland in animals, the association of iodine with the thyroid, and the availability of an excellent radioisotope of iodine have resulted in increased study of this important gland.
In hot weather, when yield of milk and eggs decreases, activity of thethyroid gland diminishes.
Chemical tests had hinted at a link between the thyroid gland and the production of milk and eggs.
The man was wounded at Lucknow, and the ball entered the left side of the neck, close to the thyroid cartilage.
In another, the ball passed through the thyro–hyoid membrane, fractured the thyroid cartilage, and tore the lining membrane of the glottis.
Hennen saw a case where a ball was found lying in a wound by the thyroid cartilage.
There is a breed of the Blenheim spaniel, in which this periodical goitre is very remarkable; the slightest cold is accompanied by enlargement of the thyroid gland, but the swelling altogether disappears in the course of a fortnight.
The 'thyroid cartilage' envelopes and protects all the rest, and particularly the lining membrane of the larynx, which vibrates from the impulse of the air that passes.
In many cases, this enlargement of the thyroid glands is plainly connected with a debilitated state of the constitution generally, and more particularly with a disposition to rickets.
The administration of thyroid has been thought to have a possible influence in some instances.
We may probably associate the general tendency to vasodilatation during early pregnancy with the tendency to goitre; Freund found an increase of the thyroid in 45 per cent.
It may be added that in recent years Armand Gautier has noted the importance of the thyroid in elaborating nucleo-proteids containing arsenic and iodine, which are poured into the circulation during menstruation and pregnancy.
Suprarenal extract, when administered, has a vaso-constricting influence, and thyroid extract a vasodilating influence; it may be surmised that within the body these glands perform similar functions.
The thyroid belongs to the same class of ductless glands as the ovary, and, as Bland Sutton and others have insisted, the analogies between the thyroid and the ovary are very numerous and significant.
The important part played by the thyroid gland is indicated by its marked activity at the very beginning of pregnancy.
It is perfectly sound, for it rests on the intimate response by congestion of the thyroid gland to sexual excitement.
When animals are castrated there is enlargement of the ductless glands in the body, notably the thyroid and the suprarenal capsules.
Gudernatsch found that legs can be induced to grow in tadpoles at any time, even in very young specimens, by feeding them with the thyroid gland (no matter from what animal).
The thyroid contains iodine, and Morse[146] states that if instead of the gland, iodized amino acids are fed to the tadpole the same result can be produced.
When growth stops in children as a consequence of a degeneration of the thyroid, feeding of the patient with thyroid again induces growth.
The fact that the substance of the thyroid may induce general growth in the human is too well known to require more than an allusion in this connection.
Here again you perceive such identity of function, that the thyroid gland of animals, when given as a remedy to man, performs precisely the same function as the human thyroid.
Moreover, it is not the thyroid gland from the anthropoid apes that is used as a remedy but that from the more lowly sheep.
The following facts, too, should convince you that having a comprehensive physical is paramount: * As many as one patient in every ten who suffer from serious depression has a thyroid disorder.
This causes the thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland in the lower part of the neck, to produce an excess of the thyroid hormone thyroxine.
They include the heart, tongue, liver, and kidneys, as well as the thymus and thyroid glands and the pancreas.
The thyroid gland lies in the throat and is called the throat sweetbread.
The thymus and thyroid glands and the pancreas are included under the term sweetbreads.
No reaction of degeneration in the tongue and thyroid muscles although there was a marked diminution in faradic excitability.
There was, however, no swelling of the thyroid gland nor any eye signs other than the exophthalmia.
The thyroid gland was somewhat swollen, and it appears that the patient had noticed this five days before entering hospital.
He was put on thyroid extract (Green’s treatment was in doses measuring from gr.
Hospital notes showed that the left lobe of the thyroid was somewhat enlarged.
The thyroid gland grew a good deal in size during the spring and the pulse went up to 120 per minute.
The lateral lobes of the thyroid were slightly larger than normal, but not painful.
In these cases the trunk is held almost horizontally, with the head in hypertension and neck muscles and thyroidcartilage jutting.
Green, the effect of thyroid extract is more rapid when coupled with pituitrin).
A corporal, 28, had a bullet pass through his neck from a point in the middle line at the upper border of the thyroid cartilage to a point behind the right sternomastoid muscle, two inches below the point of entry.
Rest in bed and thyroid extract were given, but the latter threw up his pulse on the fifth day to 140.
Close to the sides of the thyroid are seen two large blood vessels, ar, the mandibular arches, which unite into the single ventral aorta just caudad to the posterior end of the thyroid.
The next section caudad to this shows the thyroid as a round, compact mass of cells, with a very small lumen, still closely fused with the bottom of the oral groove.
The lumen may, in this embryo, be traced for only a few sections, caudad to which the thyroid is seen as a small, solid mass of cells unattached to the oral groove.
As this groove is followed caudad its ventral wall is seen to become much thickened, tg, to form the anlage of the thyroid gland.
High power drawings of thethyroid just described are shown in figures 4E and 4F.
The chief point of interest in this section is the thyroid gland, tg.
In later editions Professor Huxley further observed: "The recent discovery of the important part played by the Thyroid gland should be a warning to all speculators about useless organs.
The Thyroid gland in the throat, the function of which is unknown, was supposed to be absolutely without use.
As I have mentioned, the people suffer greatly from swelledthyroid gland or Derbyshire neck and Elephantiasis scroti.
The inhabitants suffer greatly from swelled thyroid gland or Derbyshire neck and elephantiasis, and this is the rainy season and very unsafe for me.
They are considered as being, just like the thyroid gland, producers of antitoxins; they destroy, or seem to destroy, toxins that are artificially introduced into the circulation.
Particular mention must be made of the thyroid gland, the secretions of which exercise a powerful action on the nervous centers and on nutrition.
On the other hand, Baumann quite recently extracted from the thyroid gland an iodized substance, which he named thyroiodine.
It seems probable, however, that this product is not the principal agent of the thyroid gland.
And in the same way the strenuous individual might be one with an unusually active thyroid gland, since there certainly seems to be some connection between this gland and the tendency to great activity.
The thyroid gland, situated in the lower part of the neck, is necessary for normal brain activity.
Among these structures are the spleen, the adrenals, the thyroid gland, the parathyroids, the thymus and the carotid and coccygeal bodies.
It is enclosed in a capsule of cervical fascia and is supplied by the superior and inferior thyroid arteries on each side, though occasionally a median thyroidea ima artery is present.
In the Elasmobranchs the single median thyroid lies close to the mandibular symphysis, but in the bony fish (Teleostei) it is paired.
They have been regarded as undeveloped portions of thyroid tissue in an embryonic state, but the experiments of Gley (Comptes rendus de la Soc.
In the Amphibia the thyroid forms numerous vesicles close to the anterior end of the pericardium.

Bruce has established the fact that thyroid feeding acts as a direct cerebral stimulant, which he thinks "may prove advantageous in cases where the higher cortical cells remain in an anergic condition.
Voisin determined to try the subcutaneous injection of sterilised thyroid juice.
The subject of blood analysis is most important, as tending to throw some light upon a matter at present but little understood, namely the physiological effect of thyroid preparations upon the blood.
Telford-Smith has reported four cases of Sporadic Cretinism treated by thyroid extract at the Royal Albert Asylum, Lancaster, when a well-marked improvement was noticed in each case.
The patient had no murmurs when admitted, but since the administration of thyroid preparations, basal and mitral systolic bruits had developed themselves.
Further researches would therefore seem to be necessary, before we can arrive at a satisfactory conclusion as to what effect the thyroid treatment has upon the blood.
Emily Lewi reported the history of a very marked case of Cretinism in a girl, aged 13 months, who was put on thyroid treatment; improvement was noted in a week, and the child grew gradually intelligent.
Now, the men of your guild secrete materials which do for society at large what the thyroid gland does for the individual.
Raw thyroid and cooked thyroid would give the same results on analysis, but how different is the physiological result!
From the under side of the thyroid two horns project downwards to become jointed to the cricoid.
The thyroid thus rests upon, and is movable on, the cricoid cartilage.
Like the spleen, the thyroid and thymus glands are supposed to work some change in the blood, but what is not clearly known.
The larynx has for a framework two cartilages, the thyroid and the cricoid, one above the other.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "thyroid" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
