[The dynamic postnatal morphogenesis of the hemato-C-cellular interrelations in the rat thyroid gland]
Abstract:
The system of hemato-C-cellular interactions in the thyroid gland of rats at the age of 2, 4, 12, 26, and 52 weeks is characterized by similar submicroscopical organization: the typology of hemato-C-cellular complex is preserved during ontogenesis and predominant coupling of the vascular pole of C-cell to the highly effective peripheral zone of the endotheliocytes with reference to the transport is provided. Ultrastructural changes in the zones of the perifollicular hemocapillaries facing the vascular fields of C-cells reflect the dynamics of functioning of the hemato-C-cellular system at different stages of postnatal morphogenesis.

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 iodine is then...
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...
