30 paź 2023 · Follicular cells are responsible for producing thyroglobulin (an iodine rich, inactive form of the thyroid hormones), which is then stored as a semi-solid substance (colloid) in the lumen of the follicles.

Thyroid Follicles - spherical follicles of varying size (50 to 500 µm) in which thyroid hormones are stored. Colloid - lumen of each follicle is filled with the gel-like mass called colloid. It is mostly the protein thyroglobulin (pink) and bound thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine and tetraiodothyronine (or thyroxin)).
1 mar 2009 · Physiology. Purpose of thyroid gland is to produce T4 and T3, which regulate metabolism, increase protein synthesis and increase oxygen consumption in all cells in body; T4 and T3 are also important for growth and development, and maturation of peripheral and central nervous system.
5 gru 2022 · The thyroid follicles are the structural and functional units of a thyroid gland. These are spherical, and the wall is made up of a large number of cuboidal cells, the follicular cells. These follicular cells are the derivates of the endoderm and secrete thyroid hormone.
The functional unit of the thyroid gland is the follicle, a roughly spherical group of cells arranged around a protein-rich storage material called colloid. The follicular cells are orientated with their bases near the capillary blood supply and the apices abutting the colloid.
14 cze 2023 · Unlike other endocrine glands that secrete their products directly into the bloodstream, the thyroid gland stores its products in follicles. The follicles are often clustered together to form numerous lobules that forms the parenchyma of each lobe of the thyroid.
13 lut 2023 · The thyroid gland is composed of thyroid follicles that synthesize and store thyroid hormone. The epithelial cells referred to as follicular cells or thyrocytes surround the colloid in the lumen. The ultimo-branchial cells or neural cells accompanying them are the origins of the C-cells in the thyroid gland, which secrete the hormone calcitonin.
