The only hormone secreted by this gland is called parathormone.
Function of the parathyroid gland
One of the major function of the parathyroid gland is it controls the level of calcium content in the
blood
The parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone. This hormone helps maintain an appropriate balance of calcium in the
bloodstream and in tissues that depend on calcium for proper function
Effects and consequences malfunctioning parathyroid
Parathyroid hormone helps prevent low calcium levels by acting on the bones,
intestine, and

vitamin D metabolism”
