• Occasional Pyramidal Lobe
Contains a pyramidal extension on the
posterior-most aspect of each lobe, referred to
as the tubercle of Zuckerkandl . It is a useful
landmark for identifying RLN during
thyroidectomy.
Pyramidal lobe:
• Often ascends from the isthmus or the
adjacent part of either lobe (usually Left) up
to the hyoid bone.
• May be attached by a fibrous/fibromuscular
band  “levator” of the thyroid gland
Figure 18.11a
Arterial Supply
•
Arterial Supply
• Superior and Inferior thyroid arteries (occ.
thyroidea ima)-
1. Superior thyroid arteries –Ext. Carotid.
2. Inferior thyroid arteries- Thyrocervical
trunk from subclavian art.
3. Thyroide ima (when pres) originates from
aortic arch or innominate artery.
Venous Drainage
Venous Drainage
3 pairs of veins:
1. STV a tributary of the IJV
2. MTV – directly lateral  IJV
3. ITV brachiocephalic vein.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatics
• Extensive, multidirectional flow
• Periglandular  prelaryngeal (Delphian) 
pretracheal  paratracheal (along RLN) 
brachiocephalic (sup mediastinum)  deep
cervical  thoracic duct
• Regional mets of thyroid carcinoma are
superior and lateral, along IJV
Nerve Supply
Nerve Supply
Principally from ANS
• Parasympathetic fibers – from vagus
• Sympathetic fibers – from superior, middle,
and inferior ganglia of the sympathetic
trunk
Enter the gland along with the blood vessels.
Attachments/Supports
Attachments/Supports
• Thyroid is enclosed in middle layer of deep
cervical fascia.
• Ligament attachments:
– Anterior suspensory ligament -: attaches the
medial superior aspect of the thyroid to the
cricoid cartilage and thyroid cartilage
– Posterior suspensory ligament (Berry
ligament): attaches the posteromedial thyroid to
the cricoid cartilage , 1st and 2nd tracheal rings

Microscopic Anatomy
• Thyroid follicles are the structural and
functional units of the thyroid glands.
Thyroid follicles are composed of a simple
epithelial layer that encloses a colloid-filled
cavity.
• C cells- Also known as clear, light, or
parafollicular cells.
Applied Anatomy
Applied Anatomy
• Various nerves are at potential risk for injury during
thyroidectomy-
1. Recurrent laryngeal nerve - vocal cord paralysis
2. Superior laryngeal nerve -dysphonia
3. Cervical sympathetic trunk. -Horner syndrome
1. Drooping of the eyelid
2. Constricted pupil (miosis) and
3. Decreased sweating on the affected side of the face
(anhidrosis).
• Removal of parathyroid glands or damage to its blood
supply - transient or permanent hypoparathyroidism
and consequential hypocalcemia.
Embryology
•
Embryology
• Starts @24th day of gestation
• From two main structures:-
1. Thyroid diverticulum- median anlage,
2. Ultimobronchial bodies – Left and Right --
lateral anlage
Development of Thyroid
• The thyroid gland originates from the
endoderm between the 1st and
2nd pharyngeal pouches.
• From Foramen cecum, which is a pit
positioned at the posterior one-third of the
tongue.
• Then descends in front of the pharyngeal
gut as a bilobed diverticulum .
• During migration, the thyroid remains
connected to the tongue by a narrow canal,
the thyroglossal duct.
Development of Thyroid
• The ultimobranchial body, derived from the
ventral region of the fourth pharyngeal
pouch, then becomes incorporated into the
dorsal aspect of the thyroid gland
• Parafollicular cells are derived from
ultimobranchial body.
• Ramnant is tubercle of Zuckerkandl .
Congenital Anomalies
Congenital anomalies
• Ectopic thyroid
• Thyroglossal duct Cyst
• The persistence of the thyroglossal duct.
• Thyroglossal fistula
• The partial degeneration of the thyroglossal
duct.
• Pyramidal Lobe
• Agenesis of Isthmus
• Agenesis of thyroid.
Ectopic thyroid
• Most cases of ectopic thyroid are detected
in early childhood
• May be associated with hypothyroidism.
• The tissue may enlarge due to an elevation
of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH),
resulting in localized symptoms.
• May be mistaken for a TDC. It is important
to differentiate between these lesions, as
THS-related enlarged tissue is frequently
the only thyroid tissue present.
Ectopic thyroid
Failed or incomplete descent
• Lingual
• Sublingual
• Suprahyoid
• Subhyoid
Occasionally the thyroid descends beyond its
normal station into the superior
mediastinum
• Retrosternal thyroid.
• Sub diaphragmatic organs.
Thyroglossal duct cyst
• Thyroglossal duct does not atrophy
• These cysts are the most common
congenital cervical anomalies
• Presents as a painless, asymptomatic
midline swelling.
• Located anywhere from the thyroid
cartilage up to the base of the tongue, along
the embryonic course of descent
Thyroglossal duct cyst
• Cysts are smooth, round, well-defined, and
slightly mobile on physical exam.
• Although most are observed during
childhood, they can present at any age.
• Classically move with protrusion of the
tongue and swallowing due to their physical
attachment to the hyoid bone and muscles
of the tongue
Thyroglossal duct cyst:
Treatment
• The Sistrunk procedure
• Because the hyoid bone develops in an
anterior direction and may surround the
thyroglossal duct, the surgeon should resect
the central portion on the hyoid bone along
with the cyst.
Physiology
Physiology
• The five steps of thyroid hormone
synthesis-
1. Synthesis of Thyroglobulin
2. Iodide uptake
3. Iodination of thyroglobulin
1. Oxidation
2. Organification
3. Coupling reaction:
4. Storage
5. Release
Hormones
Epithelial cells = 2 types:
• Principal (ie: follicular) – formation of
colloid (iodothyroglobulin)
• Parafollicular (ie: C cells -clear, light), lie
adjacent to follicles w/in basal lamina 
produce calcitonin
Thyroid Applied Anatomy, Pysiology, Development with MCQs.pptx
Normal Physiology
• TSH stimulates secretion of T4 and T3
from thyroid
• Most serum T3 produced by
deiodination of T4
• Think of T3 as active hormone and T4
as prohormone
• Only small fraction total T4 and total T3
is unbound – therefore free and active
ACTIONS OF T3 T4
• Thyroid hormone affects virtually every
organ system in the body-
– The heart,
– CNS,
– Autonomic nervous system
– Bone
– GI
– Metabolism.
ACTIONS OF T3 T4
• Increases the basal metabolic rate
• Depending on the metabolic status, it
can induce lipolysis or lipid synthesis.
• Stimulate the metabolism of
carbohydrates
• Anabolism of proteins. Thyroid
hormones can also induce catabolism of
proteins in high doses.
• Permissive effect on catecholamines
ACTIONS OF T3 T4
• In children, thyroid hormones act
synergistically with growth hormone to
stimulate bone growth.
• CNS During the prenatal period, it is
needed for the maturation of the brain.
In adults, it can affect mood.
• Thyroid hormone affects fertility,
ovulation, and menstruation.
ACTIONS of Calcitonin
• Calcitonin acts to decrease serum
calcium concentrations by-
• Decreasing osteoclast activity.
• Inhibiting the reabsorption of calcium
by the kidney.
FEEDBACK REGULATION
THE HYPOTHALAMIC-PITUITARY-
THYROID AXIS
•
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• thyroid hormone secretion leads to
hyperthyroidism
• What you see in this is called:
thyrotoxicosis.
• Thyroid hormone secretion leads to
hypothyroidism
Hyperthyoidism vs Thyrotoxicosis.
• Hyperthyroidism is a set of disorders that involve
excess synthesis and secretion of thyroid
hormones by the thyroid gland.
• In thyrotoxicosis, thyroid hormone levels are
elevated with or without increased thyroid
hormone synthesis-
1. Hyperthyroidism
2. Excess intake of levothyroxine or
3. Temporary excess release of thyroid hormone due to
sub acute thyroiditis.
Thyroid Function Tests
T3,T4,TSH
• Serum Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (Normal 0.5–5
U/mL): Serum TSH levels reflect the ability of the anterior
pituitary to detect free T4 levels. Small changes in free T4
lead to a large shift in TSH levels (Inverse relation).
• Total T4 (Reference Range 55–150 nmol/L) and T3
(Reference Range 1.5–3.5 nmol/L).
• Free T4 (Reference Range 12–28 pmol/L) and Free T3
(3–9 pmol/L).
• Thyroid Antibodies : Thyroid antibodies include anti-Tg,
antimicrosomal, or anti-TPO and thyroid-stimulating
immunoglobulin (TSI).
Thyroid Function Tests
• TSH is used as screening test .
