Solution
The correct option is A Thyroid
In the thyroid gland, the hormone is stored extracellularly in a pool surrounded by epithelial gland cells (a follicle). In this case, the release of the hormone into the blood stream involves the reabsorption and transfer of the hormone through the cells of origin into the extracellular space, where it enters the capillaries.
