[Percentage of epithelial cells, fibroblasts and endothelial cells in the dog thyroid]
The proportions of various cells types were studied in the thyroids of a variety of dogs used for laboratory experiments. A remarkable constancy was found with epithelial cells accounting for 70% of the total number of cells. The relative proportions of luminal and epithelial cells spaces were also very similar in different animals (47% and 26% respectively).

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...
