the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released by the parathyroid gland (located behind the thyroid gland). A decrease in blood calcium causes the parathyroid gland to secrete PTH which causes the bones to release more calcium to raise blood calcium and also causes the kidneys to decrease the amount of calcium lost in urine

How do the thyroid and parathyroid form a feedback loop?

The thyroid and parathyroid glands work in a feedback loop to regulate calcium levels in the blood. When blood calcium levels drop, the parathyroid glands release parathyroid hormone (PTH) which stimulates the release of calcium from bones and increases calcium absorption in the intestines. The thyroid gland then responds by releasing calcitonin, which helps to lower blood calcium levels by promoting its storage in bones.
