Sažetak
The aim of the article is to investigate the development of blood and lymph systems in
human parathyroid glands in prenatal and postnatal periods. The first capillaries are
observed in these glands already in the lunar month 2. At the middle of pregnancy blood
supply is increased, being extremely abundant in lunar months 9 and 10, as well as
during the first year of life. As parts of the lymph system, intercellular lymph spaces are
noticed in the parathyroid glands already in the lunar month 2, and also later, when
lymph vessels are situated along the gland or in its connective capsule and within the
gland parenchyma respectively. All these findings could be connected with the early
function of these glands, as well as with the possibility that parathyroid hormone (PTH)
is not transferred by blood only but by lymph as well.
