These, and 25 in Figure 60, are "from dissecting room material; the locations of the glands are shown in cross section in addition to the ventral view." "An attempt has been made to indicate the parathyroids which might be called 'superior parathyroids' in outline and 'inferior parathyroids' in black. Those glands which could not be classified either by location or by being one of a pair, are crosshatched." |
