AB This  parathyroid  glands  are  the  endocrine  structures  responsible  for  secreting  parathyroid  hormone  (PTH)  that  play  a  major  role  in  maintaining  calcium  physiology  either  directly  via  the  enhancement  of  osteoclastic  bone  activity  or  indirectly  by  facilitating  the  production  of  the  active  form  of  vitamin  D3  which  exerts  its  effect  by  increasing  gastrointestinal  calcium  absorption.  Decreased  secretion  of  PTH  results  in  hypoparathyroidism.
