The parathryoid gland is, as it may sound, part of the thyroid gland and is found in the neck surrounding the cricoid cartilage in a clamp like shape.

On the posterior surface of the thyroid glands.
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
Parathyroid glands are the small glands located near the thyroid. These glands control the body's usage of calcium.
The parathyroid glands consist of 4 small glands that are located within the thyroid gland. They produce a hormone called Parathyroid Hormone (PTH). PTH and calcitonin together maintain the homeostasis of Ca++ in the blood. Calcitonin hormone is produced by the thyroid. Together, these two hormones keep the calcium levels in the blood within normal ranges. It reduces the calcium level while its' partner increases the level.
The parathyroid is located in the neck.
No, parathyroid hormone is produced by the four parathyroid glands which are located on the posterior aspect of the thyroid gland.
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.
The parathyroid glands are small endocrine glands in the neck that produce parathyroid hormone. Humans have four parathyroid glands, which are usually located behind the thyroid gland. Parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in the blood and within the bones. The parathyroid gland also regulates the metabolism of both calcium and phosphorus.
Humans have four parathyroid glands which are normally situated just behind the thyroid gland in the neck. Normal parathyroid glands are about the size of a grain of rice.

The human body has four parathyroid glands resting around the Thyroid gland located in the neck. The Parathyroid glands regulate and control the amount of calcium in the blood. Calcium levels influence muscle and nerve functions and the parathyroid glands utilize Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) to do so.
On the posterior surface of the thyroid glands.
The gland that is located in the neck, next to the thyroid gland is the parathyroid. Most people have four parathyroid glands. The parathyroid glands are very small in size, almost the size of a grain of rice, which are located around the surface of the thyroid gland. The parathyroid produces a hormone called the parathyroid hormone. According toparathyroid.com, the major function of the parathyroid glands are to maintain the body's normal balance of calcium levels in the blood as well as the bones. Maintaining a normal range of parathyroid hormones also affects the nervous and muscular systems.
