Its role is to produce thyroid hormones. Two major types of thyroid hormones are secreted from the thyroid gland, levothyroxine (T4 ) and L-triiodothyronine (T3). T4 and T3 affect the function of virtually every organ system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eT4 is an inactive form of thyroid and is secreted solely from the thyroid gland.
