  3. Parathyroid gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_gland

    The parathyroid glands do this by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH). [11] Parathyroid hormone (also known as parathormone) is a small protein that takes part in the control of calcium and phosphate homeostasis, as well as bone physiology. Parathyroid hormone has effects antagonistic to those of calcitonin. [12] Calcium.

  4. Hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparathyroidism

    Hyperparathyroidism is an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in the blood. [1] [4] This occurs from a disorder either within the parathyroid glands (primary hyperparathyroidism) or as response to external stimuli (secondary hyperparathyroidism). [1]

  5. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease

    The parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone (PTH), a hormone needed to maintain adequate amounts of calcium in the blood. Removal results in hypoparathyroidism and a need for supplemental calcium and vitamin D each day. In the event that the blood supply to any one of the parathyroid glands is endangered through surgery, the parathyroid ...

  6. Endocrine gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_gland

    The parathyroid glands, of which there are 4–6, are found on the back of the thyroid glands, and secrete parathyroid hormone, [2] This causes an increase in blood calcium levels by targeting bone, the intestine, and the kidneys. The parathyroid hormone is the antagonist of calcitonin. Parathyroid hormone release is triggered by falling blood ...

  7. Endocrine system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_system

    Parathyroid gland The endocrine system can control all emotions and can control temperature. Epithelial cells of the parathyroid glands are richly supplied with blood from the inferior and superior thyroid arteries and secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH).

  8. Parathyroid disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_disease

    This condition causes many diseases related with calcium reabsorption, because the principal function of the parathyroid hormone is to regulate it. Parathyroid surgery could be performed in two different ways: first is a complete parathyroidectomy, and second is the auto transplantation of the removed parathyroid glands.

  9. Hypoparathyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoparathyroidism

    The main symptoms of hypoparathyroidism are the result of the low blood calcium level, which interferes with normal muscle contraction and nerve conduction.As a result, people with hypoparathyroidism can experience paresthesia, an unpleasant tingling sensation around the mouth and in the hands and feet, as well as muscle cramps and severe spasms known as "tetany" that affect the hands and feet ...
