14.10 Thyroid follicles

Version française

Thyroid follicles of a monkey.

In this case the epithelial cells are low cuboidal and the connective tissue between the follicles is barely visible. The well-fixed homogeneous colloid fills the lumen of the follicles.

The plane of section (top right) passes tangentially through the tip of a follicle (*) and some of the epithelial cells are seen side by side in a view from above.
