Parathyrocyte

Parathyroid cells are cells that are found in the parathyroid gland and play an important role in regulating calcium levels in the blood. They produce parathyroid hormone, which stimulates the absorption of calcium from the intestines and the excretion of calcium from the body through the kidneys.

Parathyrocytes are oval in shape and covered with cytoplasm. The cytoplasm contains ribosomes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and other organelles. The parathyrocyte nucleus is round and contains a nucleolus.

The formation of parathyroid cells begins at the stage of embryonic development, when they begin to form from thyroid cells. They then migrate to the parathyroid gland, where they remain for life.

The functions of parathyroid cells include regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism, maintaining normal calcium levels in the body and providing bone tissue with essential minerals. Impaired function of parathyroid cells can lead to the development of osteoporosis, hypercalcemia and other diseases.

Paratitrium cells (from parathyrosis hyperparathyroidism, and kytos cell) - parathyroid cells or parathyroid cells, secretory or glandular elements of the parathyroid gland. The cells are considered typical representatives of secretory cells of the diffuse endocrine system. This type of gland is located in several places throughout the body; although most often they are
