Current Data on Morphological and Functional Characteristics of the Thyroid Gland in Age Groups

Abstract

The review of the article examines the functional morphology of the thyroid gland, conducted using the morphometric research method.  It clearly shows the presence of pronounced dynamics of the morphofunctional state of the thyroid parenchyma associated with age and reflecting the level of functional activity of this endocrine gland, which is determined by the body's needs for its hormones in different periods of its life.
