Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The parathyroid gland helps maintain normal serum calcium levels by releasing parathyroid hormone, which increases calcium levels in the blood by stimulating the release of calcium from bone, increasing absorption of calcium in the intestines, and decreasing excretion of calcium through the kidneys. It does not influence the body's internal clock, act on the mammary glands, or aid in the breakdown of glycogen.
