Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following is the correct pathway for the thyroid hormone production. While thyroid hormone production is actually going to start in the hypothalamus, the hypothalamus is going to be releasing this theta trope in releasing hormone that is going to stimulate the interior pituitary gland, which is the one involved in thyroid hormone production. This anterior pituitary gland is going to signal the thyroid gland by using a thyroid stimulating hormone. This stereo, this thyroid stimulating hormone is going to again stimulate the thyroid gland to produce the thyroid hormone. So this is the pathway that is going to be taken to create this thyroid hormone or to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce it all the way from the hypothalamus. And then in the theory, klein producing this thyroid hormone. So answer choice A is going to be the correct answer to our question.
