Which of the following statements about the thyroid gland is not correct?

Answer
A
The thyroid gland is located in the neck.
B
The thyroid gland controls reproductive cycles.
C
The thyroid gland regulates metabolism.
D
The thyroid gland helps to regulate bone growth.

Explanation

The thyroid gland is in the neck and produces hormones that regulate metabolism. Thyroid hormones also support normal growth and bone development. Reproductive cycles are mainly regulated by hormones from the ovaries or testes and the pituitary gland, so “the thyroid gland controls reproductive cycles” is not correct.
