However those terms can also be used to describe other cell types (for example, parathyroid chief cells.)

Parathyroid chief cells have large amounts of organelles associated with protein synthesis.

The parathyroid chief cell is the primary cell of the parathyroid gland.

In human anatomy, there are two types of chief cells, the gastric chief cell and the parathyroid chief cell.

Parathyroid chief cells make up the majority of the parathyroid gland along with adipocytes and oxyphil cells.

In the parathyroid gland, the parathyroid oxyphil cell is larger and paler than the parathyroid chief cell.

The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is sensitive to an increase in serum calcium, and stimulates the uptake of calcium by the parathyroid chief cell.

The glands, usually four in number, contain the parathyroid chief cells that sense the level of calcium in the blood through the calcium-sensing receptor and secrete parathyroid hormone.

Parathyroid chief cells (also called parathyroid principal cells or simply parathyroid cells) are cells in the parathyroid glands which produce parathyroid hormone.

Parathyroid chief cells constitute one of the few cell types of the body that regulate intracellular calcium levels as a consequence of extracellular (or serum) changes in calcium concentration.
