Thyroid and parthyroid gland Flashcards
from the Latin guttur, throat), defined as an enlargement of the thyroid
Goiter
thyroid gland was not documented until the
Renaissance period
Hieronymus FabriciusabAquapendente recognized that goiters arose from the thyroid gland
1619
1656 -(Greek thyreoeides, shield-shaped) The term thyroid gland attributed to
Thomas wharton
classified thyroid as a ductless gland
1776 -Albrecht von Haller
first accounts of thyroid surgery for the treatment of goiters by Roger Frugardi
1170
Most notable thyroid surgeon
Emil Theodor Kocher (1841–1917) and •C.A. Theodor Billroth(1829–1894
Nobel Prize for medicine in recognition •”for his works on the physiology, pathology, and surgery of the thyroid gland

Thyroid gland originates at the base of the tongue at the _____________
Foramen cecum
During its descent, the anlageremains connected to the foramen cecumvia an epithelial-lined tube known as the
Thyroglossal duct
The epithelial cells making up the anlagegive rise to the
Thyroid follicular cell
Endoderm cells in the floor of the ___________anlage thicken to form the ____________anlagethat descends in the neck anterior to structures that form the hyoid ____________
Pharyngeal
Medial thyroid
Hyoid bone and larynx

Ultimobrachial bodies
Thyroid follicles are initially apparent by
8 weeks
colloid formation begins by the

Lingual thyroid
Normal thyroid tissue may be found anywhere
Ectopic thyroid
Thyroid tissue situated lateral to the
Carotid sheath and jugular vein
Ectopic thyroid previuosly termed
lateral aberrant thyroid

Thyroid gland
Each lobe [5cm] extends to level of
6th tracheal cartilage
Thyroid anatomy
Consists of Right and Left lobes •Each lateral lobe has a superior pole and an inferior pole •approximately 20 g •Larger in women •Enlarges during pregnancy •May enlarge slightly during menstruation
Thyroid is posterior toe the
Strap muscle
thyroid lobes located adjacent to the
Thyroid cartilage
located just inferior to the cricoidcartilage
Isthmus
Ascends from isthmus usually from left side towards the hyoid bone
Pyramidal lobe
