The thyroid gland secretes two hormones, collectively called thyroid hormone (TH), which affects many target cells including neurons in the cerebrum.
Describe the path TH has to take to get from the thyroid gland to the cerebrum, where it has an effect. You only need to go as far as the “circle of Willis.” Remember that hormones can only enter the bloodstream at capillary beds.
