iodine levels in diet ( Decrease in levels stimulate)
30
step 3 of thyroid synthesis: Iodide (I) transported across apical membrane into colloid follicle via _______ and oxidized to iodine
Pendrin
31
step 3 of thyroid synthesis: Iodide (I) transported across apical membrane into colloid follicle via pendrin and oxidized to iodine via?
thyroid peroxidase
32
step 4 of thyroid synthesis: Iodide incorporated into tyrosines at specific sites in
thyroglobulin via thyroid peroxidase
33
step 5 of thyroid synthesis: coupling reaction results in?
MIT (monoiodotyrosine) and DIT (diiodotyrosine)
34
step 5 of thyroid synthesis: MIT and DIT remain attached to thyroglobulin until?
stimulus for secretion
35
Two DIT molecules (T3/T4)
T4
36
is the synthesis of T3 or T4 faster?
T4 so most is T4
37
One DIT and one MIT (T3/T4)
T3 (slower)
38
ration of T4: T3 within gland is
10:1
39

40
Wolff- Chaikoff effect causes a large/small amount of iodine
LARGE
41
Wolff- Chaikoff effect: Excessively high levels of dietary iodide will suppress activity of ?
2 Na/ 1 I pump
42
_______ can you give short term to hyperthyroid cats?
Iodine short term
43
_______ inhibits formation of hormones and release
autoregulatory
44
wolff-chaikoff effect: Thryroid begins to resume normal function, iodine inside cells decrease and this stimulates synthesis to resume. _______ is this called?
Escape phenomenon
45
amount of hormone produced and release rises initially with
T iodide
46
amount of hormone produced and release rises initially with T iodide, but then intracellular iodide reaches a critical level which causes
hormone synthesis to stop
47
Thyroglobulin stored in _______ until stimulation for release of thyroid hormones

49
TSH stimulates retrieval of thyroglobulin from follicle lumen into endocrine cells via?
