![]() The size and shape of the thyroid lobes vary widely in normal patients. The basic anatomy is best appreciated in Figure 1. The thyroid is located in front of the neck between the levels of the C5 and T1, joined by the isthmus, bridging to the trachea. The main arteries in the neck are the common carotids, and the main veins of the neck that return the blood from the head and face are the external and internal jugular veins. The quadrangular area is on the side of the neck and is bounded superiorly by the lower border of the body of the mandible and the mastoid process, inferiorly by the clavicle, anteriorly by a midline in front of the neck, and posteriorly by the trapezius muscle. ![]() Between the cricoid cartilage and the suprasternal notch, the trachea and isthmus of the thyroid gland can be felt. Between the laryngeal prominence and the chin, the hyoid bone can be felt below the thyroid cartilage, a further ring that can be felt in the midline is the cricoid cartilage. The midline in front of the neck has a prominence of the thyroid cartilage termed the laryngeal prominence. Generally, the neck is the part of the body that separates the head from the torso. The nuclear medicine imaging, ultrasound, and biopsy of the thyroid in the evaluation of nodules and differentiation of benign from malignant disease have a very precious place. ![]() Henry Hollinshead.This chapter will discuss the thyroid anatomy including macroscopic/microscopic structure, thyroid embryology, and also vascular composition and innervation.
