Abstract:
Numerous reviews support the use of fine needle aspiration cytology of the thyroid as a simple, accurate, fast, economic, as well as safe method to diagnose thyroid disorders. When aspiration cytology preparations of the thyroid are examined, knowledge of the histopathology is needed. It is also important that the diagnostic criteria of aspiration cytology are different from those of exfoliative cytology. I herein discuss methods to identify aspiration cytological findings of the thyroid, in connection with histopathology.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The iodine is then...
