"The thyroid gland, or simply the thyroid /\u02C8\u03B8a\u026Ar\u0254\u026Ad/, is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body, and consists of two connected lobes. It is found in the neck, below the laryngeal prominence (Adam's apple). The thyroid gland controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls the body's sensitivity to other hormones."@en . .
