Medial aspect of the right half of the thyroid gland

In [A] the medial aspect of the right half of the thyroid gland of embryo number 4430 is shown. Demarcation between median and lateral portions is less distinct, and remnants of the connection with the pharynx have almost disappeared. [B] and [C] show typical transverse sections in which relative positions and outlines of lateral and median thyroid components are compared.
