If it is beginning in his brain, it is coming from his central nervous system, and if it is beginning in his gland, it is coming from his endocrine system nervous system.
- The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system, which is responsible for producing hormones that regulate various bodily functions. Issues related to the thyroid gland, whether originating in the brain (where signals for hormone production might initiate) or directly in the gland itself, would still be classified within the endocrine system due to the production and regulation of thyroid hormones.
