TERMINOLOGY

  • Abbreviations

    • Parathyroid gland (PTG)

  • Definitions

    • Thyroid gland: Shield-shaped endocrine organ in lower neck that produces thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) that are involved in many functions, including metabolism (cardiac rate and output) and protein synthesis (growth); also produces calcitonin
    • PTGs: Small glands in visceral space of neck, intimately associated with posterior margin of thyroid gland, that produce parathormone (PTH), which is hormone that regulates calcium concentration in serum and interstitial fluids
