4. Specific Learning Objectives (cognitive)
At the end of the lecture the student will able to:
Recognize the gross anatomical & Histological features of the Parathyroid
Gland
Sketch labeled diagram of the Histology of Parathyroid Gland
6. Affective domain

7. Lesson contents
Clinical chair side question: Students will be asked if they know what is the function of
Outline:
Activity 1 The facilitator will explain the student's Gross anatomy of Parathyroid Gland
Activity 2 The facilitator will ask the students to make a labeled diagram of the Histology of Parathyroid
Gland
Activity 3 The facilitator will ask the students a few Multiple Choice Questions related to it with
flashcards.
10. Thyroid Gland
Named after the Thyroid cartilage
(Greek: Shield shaped)
Largest endocrine gland
Location: Anterior neck region
2 Lateral lobes connected by isthmus
Secretes:
1. Tetra-iodo-thyronine (Thyroxine)
2. Tri-ido-thyronine
3. Calcitonin
Location of thyroid gland
11. Gross Anatomy of
Parathyroid Gland
GROSS FEATURES OF PARATHYROID GLAND.
HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES OF PARATHYROID GLAND
BLOOD & NERVE SUPPLY OF PARATHYROID GLAND.
12. Parathyroid Gland
Small flattened, oval (6 mm long in diameter)
4 on Posterior surface of each lobe of the
thyroid gland, lying within its fascial capsule
Superior & Inferior Parathyroid glands
External to Thyroid capsule
Hormone it opposes: Calcitonin (regulates
Ca+2 ions into blood & Bones)
Function: maintain body calcium &
phosphate level so nervous & muscular
system function properly by secreting
parathyroid Hormone (Para-thormone)
13. Location and Description
1. Two Superior Parathyroid Glands: 1 cm superior to the point of
entry of inferior thyroid arteries into thyroid gland.
More constant in position
Usually at the level of inferior border of cricoid cartilage.
2. Two Inferior Parathyroid Glands:1 cm inferior to arterial entry
point
Various positions
Usually near inferior poles of thyroid gland
or within fascial sheath, embedded in thyroid substance, or
outside the fascial sheath.
Sometimes, they are found some distance caudal to thyroid
gland, in association with the inferior thyroid veins
they may even reside in the superior mediastinum in the thorax.
14. Blood & Nerve supply of
Parathyroid gland.
GROSS FEATURES OF PARATHYROID GLAND.
HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES OF PARATHYROID GLAND
BLOOD & NERVE SUPPLY OF PARATHYROID GLAND.
15. Blood Supply & Lymphatic Drainage
Arterial Blood Supply:
a. Superior Parathyroid Gland = Inferior thyroid artery
b. Inferior Parathyroid Gland= Ascending branch of inferior thyroid arteries (arise from
thyrocervical trunk i.e. sub-clavian artery) & thyroid ima artery
c. Laryngeal, Tracheal & Esophageal arteries
Venous drainage: is into: (drain into thyroid plexus of veins of thyroid gland)
a. Superior & Middle thyroid vein: drains into Internal Jugular vein
b. Inferior thyroid vein: drains into Brachiocephalic Vein
Lymphatic Drainage: into
a. Deep Cervical Lymph Nodes
b. Para Tracheal Lymph Nodes

19. Neurovasculature
Nerves: derived from thyroid branches
of cervical (sympathetic) ganglia
they are vasomotor rather than
secretomotor
Hormonally regulated, Parathormone
(PTH)
controls metabolism of phosphorus &
calcium in blood. targets skeleton,
kidneys, intestine.
27. Histological features of
Parathyroid gland

BLOOD & NERVE SUPPLY OF PARATHYROID GLAND.
28. Histology of the Endocrine System
Hormone delivery
Pituitary (hypophysis)
– Anterior pituitary
– Posterior pituitary
Adrenal gland (suprarenal)
– Adrenal cortex
– Adrenal medulla
Thyroid gland
– Follicles
– Parafollicular cells
Parathyroid gland
Considered in other lectures:
– Endocrine pancreas
– Male
– Female
– Enteroendocrine
37. 1. Calcium: PTH increase blood calcium level by stimulating Osteoblast indirectly activating
osteoclasts to breakdown bone and release Calcium. PTH increases Gastro-intestinal
calcium absorption by activating Vit. D and promotes calcium conservation (resorption) by
Kidney.
2. Phosphate: PTH regulates serum phosphate conc. Via kidney. It is an inhibitor of proximal
tubular reabsorption of phosphorus through activation of Vit. D, Hence absorption of
Phosphate increased.
Hyper- Parathyroidism:
Bone Pain & Tenderness
Dehydration
Renal disease
Hypo- Parathyroidism:
Genetic condition
