    The thyroid gland, located in the neck, secretes the hormones T3 and T4 which are regulated by TSH from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Hyperthyroidism occurs when TSH levels are low and T3 and T4 levels are high, causing symptoms like heat intolerance and tremors. Hypothyroidism happens when TSH is high and T3 and T4 are low, leading to cold intolerance, depression, and weight gain. Blood tests can detect abnormal thyroid hormone levels to diagnose thyroid disorders.
