Thyroid gland and parathyroid glands.

Description
This anterior view of the thyroid gland shows its two lobes connected by the isthmus, a bridge of tissue. The thyroid cartilage of the larynx mirrors the shield-like shape of the thyroid gland. However, the thyroid cartilage is part of the respiratory system, not the endocrine system. The parathyroid glands are located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland.
