The Role of the Parathyroid Glands -- to Regulate Calcium. The ONLY purpose of the parathyroid glands is to regulate the calcium level in our bodies within a very narrow range so that the nervous and muscular systems can function properly. This is all they do.he Role of the Parathyroid Glands -- to Regulate Calcium.

Increased PTH causes the bones to release their calcium into the blood. When the calcium in our blood goes too high, normal parathyroid glands STOP making PTH--they shut down. Calcium is the most important element for the nervous system, the muscular system, and the skeletal system.lthough the parathyroid glands are located next to (and sometimes inside) the thyroid gland, they have no related function. The thyroid gland regulates the bodys metabolism and has no effect on calcium levels while parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels and have no effect on metabolism.
