Question

Which of these statements does NOT describe the synthesis or storage of thyroid hormones
A)The iodide pump of the follicular cells is important for their production.
B)They are formed within a much larger molecule called thyroglobulin.
C)Their synthesis is greatly stimulated by the presence of TSH.
D)A one- to two-hour supply of them is stored within the colloid in the lumen of the follicle.

Accepted Answer

Thyroid hormones are stored in much larger quantities than a one- to two-hour supply; they are stored in the colloid in the lumen of the follicle and can last for several weeks, not just a few hours.
