MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The parathyroid glands’ function is to maintain serum calcium homeostasis through synthesis and release of PTH. At the bone, PTH inhibits osteoblast activity and stimulates osteoclast activity leading to bone breakdown and calcium release.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium levels in the blood, largely by increasing the levels when they are too low. It does this through its actions on the kidneys, bones and intestine: Bones – parathyroid hormone stimulates the release of calcium from large calcium stores in the bones into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone, which plays a key role in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood. Precise calcium levels are important in the human body, since small changes can cause muscle and nerve problems.

Detailed explanation-4: -These glands are part of the endocrine system, which consists of a range of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream. The main function of the parathyroid glands is to make the parathyroid hormone (PTH). This chemical regulates the amounts of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in the bones and blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -The parathyroid glands (light pink) produce parathyroid hormone, which increases levels of calcium in the blood. The parathyroid glands are small pea-sized glands located in the neck just behind the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland.
