Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A thyroid follicle is a spherical structure with walls of a single layer of cuboidal epithelial cells. It stores thyroid hormone in its lumen. The center of the thyroid gland is called the isthmus, but this is not specific to the follicles. Parafollicular cells are found outside of the follicles, in a region called the interfollicular space. Small capillary networks are associated with thyroid follicles to deliver nutrients necessary for the production of thyroid hormones.
