Study Notes
Thyroid Hormone Synthesis
- The two most important requirements for thyroid hormone synthesis are iodine and thyroglobulin.
Initial Phase of Thyroid Hormone Secretion
- During the initial phase of thyroid hormone secretion, iodide is transported into the thyroid follicular cells through a process called iodide trapping.
Primary Function of the Thyroid Gland
- The primary function of the thyroid gland is to produce and regulate the level of thyroid hormones in the body.
Primary Action of Thyroid Hormones
- The primary action of thyroid hormones is to regulate cellular metabolism, growth, and development.
Thyroglobulin Synthesis
- The process of oxidation of iodide and synthesis of thyroglobulin is called organification.
