So if we examine the front portion of the windpipe, we basically get the following diagram. So we have the thyroid cartilage, we have the atoms apple right beneath that and and right beneath that we have our thyroid gland that is shown in orange. Now if we examine the back side of this windpipe, we basically get the epiglottis, we have the pharynx and then we have the backside of our trachea as well as the back side of the thyroid gland shown in orange. And on the back side of the thyroid gland, we have these four individual structures that constitute the parathyroid gland. So the parathyroid gland is found on the backside of the thyroid gland. Now the blood vessel system and the lymph vessel system that basically provide the nutrients and the blood to our thyroid gland also provide the blood and our nutrients to the parathyroid gland.
