The neck contains several important glands, including the parathyroid glands and the thyroid gland. According to the reference, there are four parathyroid glands. It does not explicitly name the other three glands in the neck. Because the question asks for four glands, only the parathyroid glands and the thyroid gland can be determined from the provided reference.
Therefore, a more appropriate question, given the available information, is: "What are the parathyroid glands and thyroid gland?".
Here's more information about these glands:
