Thyroid Gland Flashcards
Major Component of Colloid
Thyroglobulin
Transport of Iodine is by
Sodium Iodine Symporter
Oxidation and binding of Iodide with Tyrosine results to
MIT and DIT
Oxidized and bound to tyrosyl residues
Concentrated Iodide
Enzyme for the formation of T3 and T4
Thyroid peroxidase
It signals the follicular cells to ingest microscopic droplets of colloid by endocytosis
TSH
Most potent or most active thyroid hormone
T3
Better indicator for the recovery and recurrence of hyperthyroidism
T3
Principal secretory product
T4
Good indicator of thyroid secretory rate
T4
Transports both T3 and T4
Thyroxine Binding Globulin
Transports only T4
Thryoxine Binding Pre Albumin (Transthyretin)
Transports what only left binds with albumin
Thyroxine Binding Albumin
Hypothalamic Pituitary Thyroid Axis
Trh Tsh Thyroid Hormones
Elevated level of circulating thyroid hormones
Hyperthyroidism
Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
Tachycardia, tremors, heat intolerance, unexplained weight loss, emotional lability, menstrual changes
Elevated T3 and T4, low TSH
Primary Hyperthyroidism
Elevated T3 and T4 and TSH
Secondary Hyperthyroidism
Group of syndromes caused by increased Free thyroid hormones
Thyrotoxicosis
T3 Thyrotoxicosis
Increased ft3 normal ft4 low TSH
T4 Thyrotoxicosis
Normal or Low ft3, increased t4, low TSH
