How to distinguish thyroid gland from parathyroid gland

Thyroid gland and parathyroid gland, thyroid gland and parathyroid gland are two independent endocrine glands with completely different functions, all of which are located in the department, just below thyroid cartilage (that is, Adam's apple). Among them, the thyroid gland is large, about 20mm×50mm, shaped like a butterfly, and there are two leaves on one side of the trachea, which are connected by a thyroid tissue. Thyroid gland produces thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which regulates human metabolism. With the increase of these hormones, the biochemical process of providing energy and stimulating tissue growth and repair is accelerated; When thyroid hormones decrease, these processes will slow down.

If you want to check whether the specific disease is thyroid or parathyroid, you need to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination to make a diagnosis!
