Thyroglobulin is: (a) the major component of colloid inside follicles; (b) another name for thyroid hormone; (c) the major stimulus for release of thyroid hormones; (d) the protein that transports thyroxine in the blood; (e) the protein that transports TSH to the thyroid gland.24.he primary effect of T3 and T4 is to: (a) decrease blood glucose; (b) promote the release of calcitonin; (c) promote heat-generating (metabolic) reactions; (d) stimulate the uptake of iodine by the thyroid. 13.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland, a tiny organ located below the brain and behind the sinus cavities. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to release the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) into the blood. These thyroid hormones help control the rate at which the body uses energy. This test measures the amount of TSH in the blood. TSH, along with its regulatory hormone thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), which comes from the hypothalamus, is part of the feedback system that the body uses to maintain stable amounts of thyroid hormones in the blood.
