What else can I help you with?
What hormone is produced by the thyroid gland?
There are two important hormones. They are tyroxine and calcitonin.
What hormone causes a decrease in blood calcium levels?
The hormone is called as calcitonin. This hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands.
What Hormone is produced or stored by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid?
Calcitonin
Glands or organs produces hormones that tend to decrease blood calcium levels?
The hormone calcitonin acts to reduce blood calcium
What is an artificially produced element?
My semen
Which element does not occur in nature but it can be produced artificially?
Plutonium is an element that does not occur in nature in significant amounts but can be produced artificially in nuclear reactors.
Why was I asked to get a calcitonin blood test done?
Calcitonin is a hormone produced by medullary thyroid cancer. If you are asked to get a calcitonin blood test done, this is more than likely because your endocrinologist is trying to determine if you might have this type of thyroid cancer or not.
What controls the metabolism of calcium?
Calcitonin Calcitonin Calcitonin
Calcitonin acts in opposition to?
Parathyroid hormone opposes the effect of calcitonin, a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that regulates calcium levels. It removes calcium from its storage sites in bones and releases it into the bloodstream.
What is calcitonin stimulated by?
Humoral factors. (the concentration of specific nonhormonal substances in the blood or extracellular fluid.)Calcitonin is produced by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland in response to rising blood calcium levels.
Which cells produce thyroxine?
Thyroxine is produced by the follicular cells in the thyroid gland.
Is it possible to make helium artificially?
Yes, helium can be artificially produced through nuclear reactions or by extracting it from natural gas deposits.
