there are four parathyroid glands
The parathyroid glands belong to the endocrine organ system. This system is comprised of different glands in the body including (but not limited to) the thyroid gland, the parathyroid glands, the pituitary gland, the gonads as well as the pancreas. The parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone, and help regulate the amount of calcium in the blood - which in turn governs the amount of calcium in the bones of the body.
The endocrine system consists of the following glands: thyroid,parathyroid,pituitary,sex,pancreas and the adrenal glands.
The parathyroid glands are four small glands located in the neck or upper mediastinum (chest) near the thyroid gland. They are part of the endocrine system. The endocrine system regulates the hormones in the body. Like all parts of the endocrine system, the parathyroid glands play an important role in the body. These glands make parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood A parathyroid tumor, whether it is benign or malignant, can cause significant effects because the amount of calcium in the blood rises, resulting in a serious condition called hypercalcemia, a condition in which 75% patients who are diagnosed die within the next 3 days.
The endocrine system is made up with a series of glands located around the body. These glands include: * Pituitary Gland * Thyroid Glands * Parathyroid Glands * Thymus * Pancreas * Adrenal Glands * Gonads Each of these glands produces hormones, which have a particular function in the body.

All glands are important but some of the most important are the pituitary, adrenals, testes (male) or ovaries (female), thyroid, and parathyroid
The Skeletal System.
The main endocrine glands of the endocrine system include the pituitary gland, the pancreas, the ovaries, the testes, the thyroid glands and the adrenal glands. the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, pancreas, adrenal gland (adrenal cortex and medulla), male testes and female ovaries.
The organ system that consists of hormone-secreting glands, such as the pituitary gland and the thyroid gland, is known as the endocrine system. The endocrine system also consists of the following glands: pineal gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands.
