PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The parathyroid glands in the throat make parathyroid hormone, which regulates the amounts of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in the bones and blood. Problems include overactivity (hyperparathyroidism) and underactivity (hypoparathyroidism).

Detailed explanation-3: -The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands located behind the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands produce a substance (parathyroid hormone) that helps control the amount of calcium in the blood. Current as of: September 8, 2021.
