Q: parathyroid gland?
Does the extra calcium in your blood affect your teeth?

A: excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone causes extra calcium , this is known as hyper parathyroidism or browns tumor

it cause imbalance in the calcium and phosphors levels , which results in changes in the bone architecture, it causes tooth root resorption , loosening of teeth and sometimes tooth gets exfoliated .

Q: What diseases can develope from a tumor in the parathyroid gland?
From the list below.

1. Osteoarthritis
2. Achondroplasia
3. Osteoporosis
4. Hypocalcemia
5. Hyperthyroidism
6. Hypercalcemia

Please explain.

A: Parathyroid is a gland in neck whih produces a hormone called PTH (parathyroid hormone). Its oversecretion will cause:
Hypercalcemia
PTH causes increase absorption of calicium from Gut/ kidney and bone and increased excretion of phosphate from kidney thus it will lead to Hypercalcemia (increased caliun level in blood) and hypophosphatemia.
Most common cause of hyperparathyroidism is adenoma (85%)

Q: What body systems or organs are dependent on the thyroid of parathyroid gland?
I have science homework and this is a question that’s IMPOSSIBLE to answer. I can’t find it on the Internet. Anyone know?!?!

A: I think you will find this link helpful: http://www.parathyroid.com/parathyroid.htm

Q: When blood calcium level drops, what change on the level of parathyroid hormone to the parathyroid gland?
What kind of bone cells does this stimulate and how.

A: When the level of Calcium in the blood drops, the parathyroid releases parathyroid hormone (PTH). This elevates the level of blood calcium by stimulating the resorption of calcium and excretion of phosphate from the bones. It also enhances absorption of calcium from the GI tract by stimulating the conversion of vitamin D to its’ active form, which in turn aides in the absorption of Calcium, further increasing blood calcium levels.

Q: Is the parathyroid gland or overactive parathormone related to dental cavities.?
This hromon control the metabolism of calcium in the body to much hormione sould theoretically cause a calcium loss? All speculative just an idea and ideas?

A: No, the parathyroid controls the metabolism of bone calcium between bones and the blood. Dental cavities are caused by bacteria in the mouth releasing acid which breaks down the tooth enamel. The two are completely unrelated.

Q: How does the parathyroid gland control your blood calcium level?

A: That’s all the parathyroid does–control the blood calcium level. If the parathyroid is out-of-whack…..your calcium levels can become dangerously high (over 9 is too high). If it gets up over 15, you can have a stroke or heart failure and you will have instant osteoporosis. If your calcium is very high–it’s coming right out of all your bones. If you think you have this or have been diagnosed–I hope you see a really good endocrinologist.

This is a great site for explaining the functions and problems that can occur:

Q: What is the function of the parathyroid gland?

A: They are small glands in your neck that produce parathyroid hormone to control calcium levels.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid
“The parathyroid glands are small endocrine glands in the neck that produce parathyroid hormone. Humans have four parathyroid glands, which are usually located behind the thyroid gland, and, in rare cases, within the thyroid gland or in the chest. Parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in the blood and within the bones.”

Q: What is the function of parathyroid gland?

A: Parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in the blood and within the bones.

Q: what is the average cost of having your parathyroid gland removed in tennessee?

A: Any where from 5K up

Q: Other than Surgery for ParaThyroid Gland Problem ?
are there any other medical avenues so to speak that
my Endocronoligist can talk to me about. Had a recent
Bone density test shows improvement over the last
test I had, which was over 2yrs. ago. Dr. reccomended
me to see if my bones were thinning because of the
Parathyroid problem.

A: I think you need to get the surgery because most of the time hyperparathyroidism is caused by a adenoma (benign tumor) of the parathyroid glad. So if that gets removed, you won’t have any problems. For now, drink a lot of water to flush out the calcium, do exercise because it will stimulate some of the calcium to go back into your bones.

Q: 1.Which organ systems contains the parathyroid gland? 2.What are the parathyroid’s main functions?
Um, i have more.
3.How does the parathyroid work with other systems to keep the body healthy?
4.Which diseases or disorders affect the parathyroid?
5.Can a person live without the organ?
PLEASE, help me answer these questions by Thursday, February 28th.Please and thank you!!!<33

A: the hormonal system contains the parathyroid gland

2. it secretest parathormone which increases the level of calcium in the body
4. hyposecretion causes hypocalcemic tetany and hypersecretion causes ostetis cystic fibrosis
5. yes a person can live without the organ

Q: how does remove parathyroid gland have effect on Osteoporosis?

A: You parathyroid glands regulate the calcium in your blood, so too little calcium can lead to osteopenia and osteoporosis. Generally, your surgeon will tell you to take calcium + Vitamin D supplements to prevent bone loss.

Q: where was the first parathyroid gland found?
quiz!!!!!!
which animal was the first parathyroid found
i know they are part of the endocrine system. what i am asking is what animal was the first parathyroid found. before it was discovered in humans it was discovered in what animal.
no not a fish

A: It has long been held that the parathyroid glands and parathyroid hormone evolved with the emergence of the tetrapods, reflecting a need for new controls on calcium homeostasis in terrestrial, rather than aquatic, environments.

Nice to see you’ve corrected the spelling mistake in your ‘nickname’, after we all pointed it out, of course…there’s a good girl!

Q: What hormones and type of hormones does the gland thyroid and parathyroid produce?
I don’t understand. I thought it was the thyroid hormone but then it talks about t4 and t3 hormones and such. Please help!! I’m looking for quick answers.

A: The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone (t4), however it is made in the form of t3 (a precursor) which then becomes t4.

It also produces calcitonin.

The parathyroid gland produces parathormone (parathyroid hormone) which has effects on calcium metabolism.

Q: If diagnose with hypresecretory tumor of parathyroid gland, what effect will it have on renal tubule function?

A: The parathyroid gland produces a hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH) that is involved in the synthesis of 1-alpha hydroxylase in the proximal tubule – getting vitamin D get that 2nd hydroxylation it needs for it to become active vitamin D, it also decreases the reabsorption of phosphorus and bicarbonate in the proximal tubule while increases reabsorption of calcium in the distal tubule.

In the disease state that you mention, you have an over production of PTH. This causes hypervitaminosis D which results in in hypercalcemia. Having hypercalcemia, you run the risk for having more calcium in your urine which leads to formation of renal stones, which is the most common complication. With the inability to reclaim bicarb and phosphorus, patients will eventually develop metabolic acidosis and hypophosphatemia.
