Summary Introduction
To review:
The parathyroid function, which is essential in maintaining the normal calcium ion level in the body.
Introduction:
Parathyroid glands are four in number and situated on the thyroid gland’s posterior surface. These glands secrete a parathyroid hormone (PTH) that regulates the level of calcium as well as the phosphate ions within the blood.
