GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Thyroid gland: a small gland in the front of the neck, wrapping around the windpipe. Parathyroid glands: four small glands in the neck behind the thyroid gland. Adrenal glands: 2 glands that sit above the kidneys on each side of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thyroid gland and parathyroid glands are located in front of the neck, below the larynx (voice box). The thyroid plays an important role in the body’s metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parathyroid Gland Four small masses of epithelial tissue are embedded in the connective tissue capsule on the posterior surface of the thyroid glands. These are parathyroid glands, and they secrete parathyroid hormone or parathormone. Parathyroid hormone is the most important regulator of blood calcium levels.

Detailed explanation-4: -The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland in your neck. It makes two hormones that are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Detailed explanation-5: -Many glands make up the endocrine system. The hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and pineal gland are in your brain. The thyroid and parathyroid glands are in your neck. The thymus is between your lungs, the adrenals are on top of your kidneys, and the pancreas is behind your stomach.
