[Histogenesis of the thyroid gland in cultivation in diffusion chambers]
Abstract:
The histogenesis regularities and sources of the thyroid gland regeneration in white rats and steppe tortoises under conditions of auto- and allotransplantation in diffusion chambers are described. Dynamics of the reactive changes indicates the heterogenous character of morphofunctional differentiation of the thyroid structures. Differences in the adaptive plastic rearrangement of the thyroid gland of the vertebrates studied are related to the hystogenesis rate and depend on evolutionally fixed stability of the tissue to hypoxic state.

The Thyroid Gland
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...
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...
Functions of Thyroid Hormones
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...
