Detailed Solution

Concept- Parathyroid hormone is secreted by parathyroid glands.
Parathyroid hormone is secreted by parathyroid glands. It is produced in its precursor form which is an inactive form. Its function is to control calcium in our blood and phosphorous vitamin D levels in our bones. In case of excess parathyroid, calcium level in our blood increases. It leads to bone thinning and kidney stones.
