*[[Cardiorespiratory System - Anatomy & Physiology#Cardiovascular System|'''Cardiovascular actions''']] - increases Cardiac output, heart rate and contractility.
*[[Cardiorespiratory System - Anatomy & Physiology#Cardiovascular System|'''Cardiovascular actions''']] - increases Cardiac output, heart rate and contractility.
*[[Cardiorespiratory System - Anatomy & Physiology#Upper Respiratory Tract|'''Respiratory system''']] - indirectly affected through increased BMR causing increased demand for oxygen and increased excretion of carbon dioxide.
*[[Cardiorespiratory System - Anatomy & Physiology#Upper Respiratory Tract|'''Respiratory system''']] - indirectly affected through increased BMR causing increased demand for oxygen and increased excretion of carbon dioxide.
*[[Nervous and Special Senses - Anatomy & Physiology#Nervous System|'''Nervous system''']] - thyroid hormones are required for myelination of [[Microscopic Anatomy of the CNS#Neurons|neurons]] during the development of this system. They also enhance the sympathetic nervous system (by increasing epinephrine receptors).
*[[Nervous and Special Senses - Anatomy & Physiology#Nervous System|'''Nervous system''']] - thyroid hormones are required for myelination of [[PNS Structure - Anatomy & Physiology#Neurons|neurons]] during the development of this system. They also enhance the sympathetic nervous system (by increasing epinephrine receptors).
*[[Reproductive System - Anatomy & Physiology|'''Reproductive System''']] - reduced levels of thyroid hormone causes irregular cycling, decreased libido.
*[[Reproductive System - Anatomy & Physiology|'''Reproductive System''']] - reduced levels of thyroid hormone causes irregular cycling, decreased libido.
*[[Alimentary - Anatomy & Physiology|'''Alimentary System''']] - Thyroid hormone increases appetite and feed intake, increases secretion of [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology|pancreatic]] enzymes and increases motility.
