Secretes hormones that regulate calcium (Ca+) levels

Detailed explanation-1: -Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a hormone your parathyroid glands release to control calcium levels in your blood. It also controls phosphorus and vitamin D levels. If your body has too much or too little parathyroid hormone, it can cause symptoms related to abnormal blood calcium levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Parathyroid hormone is directly involved in the bones, kidneys, and small intestine. In the bones, PTH stimulates the release of calcium in an indirect process through osteoclasts which ultimately leads to the resorption of the bones.
Detailed explanation-3: -Parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone, which plays a key role in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood.
Detailed explanation-4: -The parathyroid glands release parathyroid hormone (PTH) in response to a decrease in serum calcium. PTH acts on the kidneys to increase calcium reabsorption in the ascending loop of Henle, the distal convoluted tubule, and the collecting duct.
