Cells present in parathyroid glands are all except 
Select and explain. 
A. Chief cells, B. Parietal cells, C. Oxyphil cells, D. Water-clear cells
B: Parietal cells
Answer: B: Parietal cells 
Explanation: The parathyroid glands of infants and children are composed mainly of chief cells, which produce parathyroid hormone (PTH). Acidophilic, mitochondria-rich oxyphil cells are derived from chief cells, can be seen around pubey, and increase in numbers in adulthood. A third group of cells, known as water-clear cells, also are derived from chief cells, are present in small numbers, and are rich in glycogen. Although most oxyphil and water-clear cells retain the ability to secrete PTH, their functional significance is not known.
