Where do calcitonin and parathyroid hormones come from?
Calcitonin is released from thyroid gland in response to hypercalemia. On the other hand, parathyroid hormone- as you guessed - is from parathyroid gland in response to low levels of blood calcium. Which will cause calcium to be released from bone into blood to compensate.
What gland is the source of parathyroid and calcintonin?
The parathyroid hormone is secreted directly from the parathyroid gland. The thyroid gland secretes calcitonin.
What glands are located on the posterior surface of the thyroid?
The parathyroid glands are located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. There are typically four parathyroid glands situated behind the thyroid, with two on each side. These glands secrete parathyroid hormone that helps regulate calcium levels in the blood.
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.
Where is parathyroid located in the human body?
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.
Where do calcitonin and parathyroid hormones come from?
Calcitonin is released from thyroid gland in response to hypercalemia. On the other hand, parathyroid hormone- as you guessed - is from parathyroid gland in response to low levels of blood calcium. Which will cause calcium to be released from bone into blood to compensate.

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.
What gland is the source of parathyroid and calcintonin?
The parathyroid hormone is secreted directly from the parathyroid gland. The thyroid gland secretes calcitonin.
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 is the Thyroid and parathyroid gland?

What glands are located on the posterior surface of the thyroid?
The parathyroid glands are located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. There are typically four parathyroid glands situated behind the thyroid, with two on each side. These glands secrete parathyroid hormone that helps regulate calcium levels in the blood.
What are the four glands attached to the thyroid gland?
The four glands known as Parathyroid glands are attached to the thyroid gland.
