Most people have four parathyroid glands. The primary functional cells of the parathyroid glands are the chief cells that release parathyroid hormone to help maintain calcium homeostasis.

A thick connective tissue capsule separates the glands from the thyroid tissue. Most people have four parathyroid glands, but occasionally there are more in tissues of the neck or chest. The function of one type of parathyroid cells, the oxyphil cells, is not clear. The primary functional cells of the parathyroid glands are the chief cells.

PTH plays a key role in managing blood calcium levels by promoting bone calcium release, renal absorption, and intestinal absorption via calcitriol. Its release is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism tied to blood calcium levels, with low magnesium levels affecting PTH secretion. However, chronic low magnesium can hinder parathyroid functionality.
