Can you help me explain what I have I written below to a younger patient. A hormone it is supposed to release, and how the target organs are affected when that specific endocrine process does not function properly. How would you explain the process to a younger patient? Offer at least one analogy and any other means of explanation. Parathyroid gland: A gland that regulates calcium, located behind the thyroid gland in the neck. The thyroid gland is located by the Adam’s apple, which is in the throat.The parathyroid gland secretes a hormone called parathormone (or parathyrin) that is critical to calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Although the number of parathyroid glands can vary, most people have four, one above the other on each side. They are plastered against the back of the thyroid and therefore at risk for being accidentally removed during thyroidectomy.
