Thyroid gland

The thyroid hormones Synthesis and secretion: epithelioid cells Storage: in colloid ,a large glycoprotein (thyrog

lobulin).

The thyroid hormones


: combine with iodine

: 1mg/week




When the synthesis of TH ceases, Physiologic effects of deficiency are not observed for 2-3 months

The thyroid hormones (TH)



Cretinism TH stimulation formation of dendrites,

axons, myelin and neuroglia Deficiency in iodine in fetus : TH↓→

Cretinism Treatment : supplement the TH within three

months after birth





Lengthy sleep

Nonpitting edema



Increase the appetite

:TH↓→constipation

HyperthyroidismHyperthyroidism

Major clinical signs ：include weight loss (often accompanied by an increased appetite),anxiety, intolerance to heat, hair loss, muscle aches, weakness, fatigue, hyperactivity, irritability


Regulation of Thyroid Hormone Secretion

Mechanism of goiter Iodine↓→T3,T4↓→

TSH↑ (negative feedback) →

T3,T4 ↑and thyroid cells ↑ →goiter



Auto regulation Wolff-chaikoff effect

Without control of TSH, the thyroid gland can adapt itself function to iodide uptake

Iodide concentration: 10mmol/L , no uptake of iodide


Effect of Autonomic Nervous System on Thyroid Activity Sympathetic nerve: formation of TH↑ Para sympathetic nerve: formation of TH↓

Abnormality of thyroid gland Hypothyroidism

Cretinism: extreme hypothyroidism during fetal life, infancy, or childhood

Goiter Myxedema: bagginess under the eyes and swelling of

the face develop atherosclerosis Sleeping up to 12 to 14 hours a day, extreme muscular sluggishness heart rate↓ cardiac output↓ blood volume↓ Body Weight↑ Constipation mental sluggishness

Abnormality of thyroid gland Hyperthyroidism

high state of excitability intolerance to heat increased sweating mild to extreme weight loss varying degrees of diarrhea muscle weakness nervousness or other psychic disorders Extreme fatigue but inability to sleep tremor of the hands
