The parathyroid glands situated adjacent to the thyroid glands in the neck produce parathormone that regulates blood calcium levels and the excretion of phosphates. The follicle cells of the developing ova produce oestrogen, which controls the development of the mammary glands and prepares the uterus for pregnancy.

It highlights the hormone regulation of calcium in blood, making levels an unreliable nutritional indicator. The page explains that dietary needs depend on calcium balance, with both excess and insufficient intake posing health risks, including disorders like rickets and osteoporosis, particularly when coupled with low vitamin D.

The main endocrine glands in the body are the pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands, the pancreas, ovaries and testes.
