The parathyroid glands are located in the neck, near or attached to the back side of the thyroid gland.Parathyroid hormone controls calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the blood and bone.Release of PTH is controlled by the level of calcium in the blood.Low blood calcium levels cause increased PTH to be released, while high blood calcium levels block PTH release.t is a protein hormone released by the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are located in the neck, near or attached to the back side of the thyroid gland.
What is parathyroid hormone? Parathyroid hormone is secreted from the four parathyroid glands, which are small glands in the neck, located behind the thyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium levels in the blood, largely by increasing the levels when they are too low.It does this through its actions on the kidneys, bones and intestine: Bones-Parathyroid hormone stimulates the release of calcium from large calcium stores in the bones into the bloodstream. 2  This increases bone destruction and decreases the formation of new bone.
