Oxyphil cell (parathyroid)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the parathyroid gland, the parathyroid oxyphil cell is larger and paler than the parathyroid chief cell.[1]
These cells can be found in clusters in the center of the section and at the periphery.[2][3][4][5] Oxyphil cells appear at the onset of puberty, but have no known function.
