| 31. | A human being usually has four parathyroid glands located on the back surface of the thyroid in the neck.
|
| 32. | MEN I patients have tumors in their pituitary gland and parathyroid glands, in addition to tumors of the pancreas.
|
| 33. | When the parathyroid gland is overactive, the blood calcium level increases, which can affect the heart and other organs.
|
| 34. | Low levels of calcium stimulates the release of parathyroid hormone ( PTH ) from chief cells of the parathyroid gland.
|
| 35. | In the parathyroid gland, the calcium-sensing receptor controls calcium homeostasis by regulating the release of parathyroid hormone ( PTH ).
|
| 36. | All these activities are controlled by the parathyroid gland, a small gland buried within the tissue of the thyroid gland.
|
| 37. | Because they didn't want to disrupt the larynx's blood supply, they also transplanted the nearby thyroid and parathyroid glands, too.
|
| 38. | The parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone ( PTH ), a hormone needed to maintain adequate amounts of calcium in the blood.
|
| 39. | Gustaf Retzius and Eugene Gley compounded his research, the latter credited with the discovery of the function of the parathyroid glands.
|
| 40. | When the parathyroid gland is overactive, the blood calcium level increases, which can affect the heart and other organs of the body.
