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.
