Thyroid Gland and Thyroid Hormones - Part 10

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland whose hormone products perform many important functions. Test your basic knowledge of the thyroid gland, its hormone products, and the effect of these hormones on target tissues by taking this simple quiz.

(1) Within the thyroid gland, the receptors for the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are localized to:

	(A) Apical membrane of thyroid follicular cells
	(B) Basolateral membrane of thyroid follicular cells
	(C) Both apical and basolateral membrane domains of thyroid follicular cells

(2) The thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is also referred to as:

(3) Within the thyroid gland, the receptors for the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) belong to this class of receptors:

	(A) Ligand-gated ion channels (i.e., receptor channels)
	(B) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
	(C) Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs)

(4) Within the thyroid gland, the Na⁺/iodide symporter (NIS) is localized to:

	(A) Apical membrane of thyroid follicular cells
	(B) Basolateral membrane of thyroid follicular cells
	(C) Both apical and basolateral membrane domains of thyroid follicular cells

(5) Within the thyroid gland, thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is localized to:

	(A) Apical membrane of thyroid follicular cells
	(B) Basolateral membrane of thyroid follicular cells
	(C) Both apical and basolateral membrane domains of thyroid follicular cells
