Uberon Homology note : Thus, a thyroid capable of forming iodotyrosines and iodothyronines is present in
all vertebrates. (...) Certain morphologic changes occur after the biochemical evolution
of the thyroid has ceased. In the adult lamprey and in most bony fishes, the gland
is not encapsulated. (...) In cartilaginous fish, the thyroid is encapsulated. In
the higher vertebrate forms, the thyroid is a one- or two-lobed encapsulated structure.[well
