Thyroid Gland Histology:
Is composed of hollow, spherical follicles
The walls of each folicle are formed by cuboidal or squamous epithelial cells called follicle cells
Produce the glycoprotein thyroglobulin the central lumen of the follicles stores colloid
Colloid is composed of thyroglobulin molecules with attached iodine atomes
TH is derived from iodinated thryroglobulin
Parafollicular cells calcitonin hormone
