Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 31CT
Ryan had symptoms of excessive secretion of PTH (a high blood calcium ion level), and his physicians were certain he had a parathyroid gland tumor. Yet when surgery was performed on his neck, the surgeon could not find the parathyroid glands at all. Where should the surgeon look next to find the timorous parathyroid gland?
