∙ 14y agoThe parathyroid gland secretes parathyroid hormone (PTH) which is responsible for monitoring blood calcium levels by mobilizing calcium reserves in the bone, increasing intestinal absorption and increasing renal excretion. Another hormone involved in regulated Ca blood levels is calcitonin, secreted by the thyroid gland. It lowers Ca blood levels by increasing its deposition in the bone.

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 to parathyroid.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. An over production of the parathyroid hormone, known as hyperparathyroidism, can weaken bones, produce kidney stones, and other ailments.
