The Thyroid Gland is Unusual Because It is Able to Store

Question

The thyroid gland is unusual because it is able to store a considerable amount of its hormone.

Accepted Answer

The thyroid gland is able to store a large amount of its hormone, thyroxine (T4), in the form of thyroglobulin. This allows for a steady release of hormone into the bloodstream, even when the body's demand for thyroid hormone fluctuates.
