UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010280	Parathyroid Glands	Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body.	Gland, Parathyroid,Glands, Parathyroid,Parathyroid Gland
D010758	Phosphorus	A non-metal element that has the atomic symbol P, atomic number 15, and atomic weight 31. It is an essential element that takes part in a broad variety of biochemical reactions.

D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D016105	Parathyroidectomy	Excision of one or more of the parathyroid glands.	Parathyroidectomies
D016226	Phosphorus, Dietary	Phosphorus used in foods or obtained from food. This element is a major intracellular component which plays an important role in many biochemical pathways relating to normal physiological functions. High concentrations of dietary phosphorus can cause nephrocalcinosis which is associated with impaired kidney function. Low concentrations of dietary phosphorus cause an increase in calcitriol in the blood and osteoporosis.	Dietary Phosphorus
D017674	Hypophosphatemia	A condition of an abnormally low level of PHOSPHATES in the blood.	Hypophosphatemias
D065667	Renal Elimination	The discharge of substances from the blood supply via the URINARY TRACT.	Renal Excretion,Elimination, Renal,Excretion, Renal
