Part of the endocrine system, it helps to regulate many body functions by constantly releasing a steady amount of hormones into the bloodstream. More hormones are produced when the body needs more energy, like when it is growing or cold, or during pregnancy. The thyroid also controls other vital functions such as digestion, circulation, immune function, hormone balance, and emotions.
