No, parathyroid glands are usually beside or on the surface of the thyroid. "Para" means beside, as in beside the thyroid. It serves a different function and has a much different structure.

What cells in the parathyroid gland secretes Parathyroid hormone?
The parathyroid glands release the parathyroid hormone, also known as parathormone. The parathyroid glands are four tiny masses of gland tissue located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. Each gland is about the size of an apple seed.
What hormone is secreted by cells of the thyroid gland works with the parathyroid hormone to regulate the calcium levels in the blood and tissues?
calcitonin
Where is the parathyroid glan?
Parathyroid glands are dipped in back in thyroid gland.There are four glands.
What gland is the source of parathyroid and calcintonin?
The parathyroid hormone is secreted directly from the parathyroid gland. The thyroid gland secretes calcitonin.
Is tetany caused by hyposecretion of the thyroid?
No, the condition is caused by deficiency of the parathyroid gland.

Does the thyroid produce parathyroid hormone?
No, parathyroid hormone is produced by the four parathyroid glands which are located on the posterior aspect of the thyroid gland.
How are the thyroid and parathyroid glands linked anatomically?
Thyroid glands are located in the neck, in close approximation to the first part of the trachea. In humans, the thyroid gland has a "butterfly" shape, with two lateral lobes that are connected by a narrow section called the isthmus. Most animals, however, have two separate glands on either side of the trachea. Thyroid glands are brownish-red in color.Close examination of a thyroid gland will reveal one or more small, light-colored nodules on or protruding from its surface - these are parathyroid glands (meaning "beside the thyroid").The microscopic structure of the thyroid is quite distinctive. Thyroid epithelial cells - the cells responsible for synthesis of thyroid hormones - are arranged in spheres called thyroid follicles. Follicles are filled with colloid, a proteinaceous depot of thyroid hormone precursor.In addition to thyroid epithelial cells, the thyroid gland houses one other important endocrine cell. Nestled in spaces between thyroid follicles are parafollicular or C cells, which secrete the hormone calcitonin.The structure of a parathyroid gland is distinctly different from a thyroid gland. The cells that synthesize and secrete parathyroid hormone are arranged in rather dense cords or nests around abundant capillaries.

Where can you parathyroid?
Parathyroid glands are dipped in back in thyroid gland.They are endrocrine glands.
What hormone is secreted by cells of the thyroid gland works with the parathyroid hormone to regulate the calcium levels in the blood and tissues?
calcitonin
How do you thyroid and parathyroid form a feedback loop?
The thyroid is in charge of metabolism, the parathyroid is in charge of what amount the thyroid regulates. If either of the two are out of sorts the feedback loop wont work.
