👉 Hyothyroid is a type of thyroid gland that produces thyroid hormones, which are crucial for regulating metabolism and maintaining overall health. It's also known as an iodine-dependent thyroid gland (IDTGH) because it forms its own iodine in its secretory area. The term "thyroid" refers to the gland itself, while "hyothyroid" is a general term used to describe this unique type of thyroid gland.
