Fine Art Print : Illustration of single thyroid follicle
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Illustration of single thyroid follicle
Illustration of a single human thyroid follicle, the functional unit of the thyroid gland. The follicle has been cut open to reveal the internal layer of epithelial cells surrounding a pool of thyroid colloid (purple). The blood supply is also featured (red & blue). The follicular cells secrete two forms of thryoid hormone, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which are stored in the jelly-like colloid. When actively secreting hormones the lining cells are large & cuboidal, & the colloid is diminished. When less active the colloid is distended & the secretory cells flattened

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate illustration of a single thyroid follicle, the fundamental building block of the thyroid gland. The image offers a unique glimpse into the internal structure and functions of this vital endocrine gland in the human body. The follicle has been carefully dissected to reveal its inner layer composed of epithelial cells that encircle a mesmerizing pool of purple-colored thyroid colloid. This jelly-like substance serves as a storage site for two essential hormones secreted by the follicular cells: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones play crucial roles in regulating various bodily processes, including metabolism, growth, and development. Highlighted in vibrant red and blue hues is the intricate network of blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to support optimal thyroid function. The presence of these vessels underscores the significance of maintaining a healthy blood supply for proper hormone production. Notably, this illustration beautifully depicts how the appearance of both the colloid and lining cells can vary depending on their level of activity. When actively secreting hormones, these lining cells adopt large cuboidal shapes while diminishing the amount of stored colloid. Conversely, during periods when hormone secretion is reduced or less active, an increase in colloid volume causes flattening among secretory cells. Overall, this visually stunning print from Science Photo Library provides valuable insights into one's understanding about anatomy while shedding light on key aspects related to thyroid health and hormone regulation within our bodies.
