Endocrine Pituitary-Thyroid Pathway
The thyroid gland’s production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) is triggered by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is made by the pituitary gland.
- When thyroid hormone levels in the blood are low, the pituitary releases more TSH.
- When thyroid hormone levels in the blood are high, the pituitary responds by decreasing TSH production.
