An Update on the Structure of the Parathyroid Gland

Abstract: Abstract:The parathyroid glands hold a special place in human anatomy, since they were the last major organ to be recognized by humans. The glands are recognized in all vertebrate animals higher than fish, and are derived from the pharyngeal pouches. The molecular signaling pathways that are involved in determining the differentiation of the glands are being elucidated. Studies in mice have demonstrated that the transcription factor encoded by Glial cells missing 2 (Gcm2) is a key regulator of parathyroid deve… Show more

“…The chief cells play a critical role in calcium homeostasis by sensing changes inextracellular calcium concentration and releasing the appropriate amount of PTH to correct or maintain normal blood calcium levels [21]. The chief cells (parathyroid gland principal cells) measure approximately six to eight microns, they are polygonal in shape, have a centrally located round nuclei, and have secretory granules containing PTH [18].…”
