Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C cells are found in the thyroid gland, specifically between the follicular cells, and are responsible for the secretion of calcitonin, which helps regulate calcium levels in the blood. Thyroglobulin, however, is not scattered throughout loose connective tissue; it is a protein found within the colloid of thyroid follicles and serves as a precursor to thyroid hormones. Choices A, B, D, and E are correctly paired with their locations or functions.
