Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The parathyroid glands lie behind the thyroid. They produce parathyroid hormone, which plays a role in regulating the body’s blood level of calcium and phosphorus. Hyperparathyroidism is when your parathyroid glands create high amounts of parathyroid hormone in the bloodstream.
