Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The way parathyroid hormone regulates blood calcium concentration.

Introduction:

PTH is a chemical messenger called a hormone usually secreted by the parathyroid glands that seek to regulate the level of calcium in the blood. It oversees vitamin D and phosphorus levels too. When the body generates fluctuation in parathyroid hormone, it can cause symptoms that are associated with elevated calcium levels in the bloodstream.
