Well HIGH TSH is a sign of HYPOthyroidism which means your thyroid is not producing an adequate Amt of hormones for the body. Your thyroid produces t3 and t4 if it starts producing less of these the pituitary gland in brain releases more TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) to try to stimulate the thyroid to make more. Typically if it's not cause by an autoimmune disease (the immune system attacking the thyroid) all u need to do is get your doc to test your thyroid and if it comes back high hell put u on a pull called synthroid. Generic- levothyroxine. And this replaces the hormones your thyroid is not producing. It makes up for it.

What material is stored in the thyroid follicles?

The thyroid follicles store a substance called colloid, which is primarily composed of thyroglobulin, a precursor to thyroid hormones. Thyroglobulin contains iodine-rich amino acids, and when stimulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), it is converted into the active hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). This storage allows the thyroid gland to regulate metabolic processes efficiently by releasing these hormones as needed.

What system is affected by the removal of the thyroid gland?

The removal of the thyroid glands would result in the person not being able to produce T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine), and calcitonin. These three hormones are essential to maintaining the proper rate of metabolism in the body and the production of bone. In most cases, people choose to have their thyroid removed if they have hyperthyroidism. This can result in a disease called Grave's disease in which the eyeballs protrude. Sometimes this is referred to as 'bug-eyes.' If a person has their thyroid gland removed, they will have to take medication for the rest of their lives in order to maintain proper health.
