AB The  thyroid  gland  is  the  first  of  the  body’s  endocrine  glands  to  develop  (~24th  day  of  gestation),  and  its  maturation  can  be  divided  into  two  phases.  The  first  phase  involves  embryogenesis  of  the  thyroid  gland  and  of  the  hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroidal  (HPT)  axis.  The  second  phase  involves  further  development  of  the  HPT  axis,  including  hormone  production  and  regulation.
