EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate molecular structure of Parathyroid hormone (PTH), also known as parathormone. The image beautifully illustrates both the primary and secondary structures of this vital hormone, which is secreted by the parathyroid glands located in the neck. The primary structure is represented by spherical shapes, while coils depict the secondary structure. PTH plays a crucial role in regulating calcium and phosphorus concentrations within our bloodstream. It acts as a biological regulator, ensuring that these essential minerals are maintained at optimal levels for proper bodily function. Through its complex composition and chemical interactions, this molecule influences various biochemical processes within our bodies. Its alpha helix polypeptide chains form regulatory helices that enable precise control over calcium and phosphorus levels. Endocrinologists study PTH extensively to understand how it functions within our endocrine system. This remarkable molecule is secreted into extracellular fluid directly impacting blood regulation. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this molecular model using ball-and-stick representation, allowing us to appreciate its structural intricacies up close. This visually stunning print serves as a testament to the beauty found in scientific exploration and highlights the importance of understanding molecules like PTH for advancing medical knowledge and improving human health.
