Effect of Thyroid Hormone on –
Growth & Tissue Development
Metabolism
Cardiovascular System
Nervous System
Body Temperature
Reference
Conclusion

3. Effect On Growth & Tissue Development
Role in normal body growth &
skeletal maturation –
• Bone development
• Teeth development.
Role in tissue differentiation and
maturation.
Role in development of nervous
tissue.

4. Effect On Metabolism
Carbohydrates – increases glucose
absorption & metabolism.
Fats – mobilisation of fats from
adipose tissue decreases plasma
cholesterol levels.
Proteins –physiologically anabolic
effect & in high concentration
catabolic effect.
Vitamins – increases quantity of
enzymes so causes vitamin
deficiency.

5. Cardiovascular Effects
Tachycardia.
Increases force of cardiac contraction.
Increases cardiac output.
Blood Pressure – systolic increases &
diastolic decreases.
Vasodilatation & increased blood
flow to tissue.

6. Effects On Nervous System
Enhance wakefulness and alertness.
Enhances memory & learning
capacity.
Increases speed and amplitude of
peripheral reflexes.

7. Effect on Body Temperature
 Thyroid Hormone Induced Thermogenesis
 Increases the heat production in the body,
by accelerating various cellular metabolic
process and increasing BMR.
 During hypersecretion of thyroxine, the
body temperature increases greatly,
resulting in excess sweating.
