Abstract
The parathyroid glands (from Lat. glandulae parathyroideae) are glands of internal secretion and the most important humoral regulators of calcium and phosphorus levels in the organism. In the medical literature, there are also some other terms used: “additional thyroid glands” (from Fr. glandules satellites de la thyroide) or “epithelial bodies” (from Ger. Nebendrusen der Schilddruse, Epithelkorperchen).
