Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thyroid hormone is synthesized within colloid, which is a viscous substance found in the follicles of the thyroid gland.

The other hormone types listed (steroids, catecholamines, and peptides) are not synthesized within colloid. Steroids are synthesized in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of the cell, catecholamines are synthesized in the adrenal glands, and peptides are synthesized in the ribosomes of the cell.
