Abstract

The snake Oligodon arnensis possesses two pairs of parathyroid glands. The rostral parathyroids (rPTG) are located at the bifurcation of the carotid artery, behind the angle of the jaw. The caudal parathyroids (cPTG) are located in the thyro-thymic region. The parathyroid gland is surrounded by a connective tissue capsule, and composed of cell cords of a single type of cell. Oxyphil cells are absent. The gland is profusely supplied with blood vessels.
