Thyroid
B.
Thiel
Anatomy
Ontogenic
Development
The
thyroid
develops
in
the
embryo
from
the
floor
of
the
pharynx
(foregut)
from
day
24,
initially
as
the
thyroglossal
duct.
The
two
lobes
of
the
thyroid
arise
from
this.
From
week
7
they
lie
in
front
of
the
trachea.
The
duct
often
persists
as
a
pyramidal
lobe
superior
to
the
thyroid
gland.
Histology
Follicles
consisting
of
epithelial
cells
are
the
central
feature.
These
are
arranged
in
a
single
layer
and
produce
thyroglobulin,
the
precursor
of
the
thyroid
hor-
mones,
in
the
follicle.
The
thyroid
is
surrounded
by
a
capsule
of
connective
tissue
(fibrous
capsule);
connective
tissue
septa
originate
from
this
and
divide
the
organ
into
individual
lobules.
Each
lobule
consists
of
several
follicles.
