When I was 13 years old in my 9th grade English class, we were assigned a theme: What I Want To Be When I Grow Up. From early on in life, all that I ever imagined I would be was an interior designer. So, that theme was easy for me.
PTH stands for parathyroid hormone. It is a protein hormone released by the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are located in the neck, near or attached to the back side of the thyroid gland.Parathyroid hormone controls calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the blood and bone.Release of PTH is controlled by the level of calcium in the blood.Low blood calcium levels cause increased PTH to be released, while high blood calcium levels block PTH release.t is a protein hormone released by the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are located in the neck, near or attached to the back side of the thyroid gland.
Parathyroid Hormone. Parathyroid hormone is the most important endocrine regulator of calcium and phosphorus concentration in extracellular fluid. This hormone is secreted from cells of the parathyroid glands and finds its major target cells in bone and kidney.Another hormone, parathyroid hormone-related protein, binds to the same receptor as parathyroid hormone and has major effects on development. This effect is mediated by stimulating tubular reabsorption of calcium. 2  Another effect of parathyroid hormone on the kidney is to stimulate loss of phosphate ions in urine.
