Answer:

Iodine in the food items included in the diet

Explanation:

The thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) are the lipid-soluble hormones and are formed when iodine is attached to the amino acid tyrosine. The triiodothyronine (T3) has three atoms of iodine while tetraiodothyronine (T4) has four atoms of iodine attached to the benzene rings of tyrosine.  

Hence, the synthesis of T3 and T4 hormones by thyroid gland depends on the availability of iodine atoms which in turn mostly comes from the diet.  

Active transport of iodide ions occurs from the blood into the cytoplasm of the follicular cells of the thyroid gland. In fact, most of the iodide ions are concentrated in the follicular cells of the thyroid gland in the body. Diet serves as a source of iodine and the diet deficient in iodine leads to malfunctioning of the thyroid gland.

amid [387]
<span>It replaces damaged cells
</span><span>
There are at least three primary functions that are performed by the epithelial tissue.Firstly it provides a great protective covering for all the tissues lying beneath it from radiation, toxins, physical trauma, desiccation and invasion of pathogens. Secondly it helps to regulate the exchange of chemicals between the body cavity and the tissues that lie underneath the epithelial tissues. It also helps in the secretion of the hormones in to the bloods. These are all major but primary functions of the epithelial tissues. From this we can easily understand the importance of the epithelial tissues.</span>
