"The amount of calcium in the blood is regulated by two organs: thyroid and parathyroid glands. Each gland produces hormones by sensing the amount of calcium in the blood. When calcium is high in the blood, the thyroid gland produces calcitonin, which results in the removal of excess calcium from the blood. When calcium is low in the blood, the parathyroid gland produces parathyroid hormone, which causes the release of calcium from bone into the blood."
What else can I help you with?
What 4 glands each of which is the size of a grain of rice are embedded in the postior surface of the thyroid gland?
The four glands, each of which is the size of a grain of rice, that are located around the surface of the thyroid gland is the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid glands control calcium regulation, which is the amount of calcium that is in the blood and within the bones.
What function of the thyroid gland?
A function of the thyroid gland is the regulates calcium in blood
What organ secretes calcitonin?
Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid linear polypeptide hormone which is secreted in human beings primarily by the parafollicular cells (also known as C-cells) of the thyroid, it regulates calcium levels in the body
Gland that secretes calcitonin?
The thyroid gland secretes both of these. Thyroxine or T4 is the most prevalent secretion of the thyroid - it is the inactive form of tri-iodothyronine (T3) which is important for regulation of metabolism. T3 and T4 are secreted by the follicular cells. Calcitonin is secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland and acts to decrease blood calcium levels.
What control the amount of calcium in your blood?
thyroid gland
What gland is beside the thyroid gland?
The parathyroid glands are located beside the thyroid gland. They are small glands that are responsible for regulating calcium levels in the body.
What produces hormone to regulate the balance of calcium in your blood?
thyroid gland
What gland produces calcitonin?
Parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland produce calcitonin.
The gland responsible for the calorigenic effect is the?
Thyroid gland is responsible for the calorigenic effect as it produces hormones that regulate metabolism, increase heat production, and ultimately affect the body's energy expenditure.
Which hormones increases the calcium levels in the blood?
Calcitonin - Thyroid Gland
What is Relation of calcium in blood with TSH?
TSH or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone,which is released from the pituitarygland in the brain, stimulates the C cells in the thyroid gland to produce calcium. If too much calcium is in the blood there is possibly an oversecretion of TSH from the pituitary gland.
What is Parathyroid adenoma?
The parathyroid glands are small tissues that lie on either side of the thyroid gland. Unlike the thyroid's role in energy metabolism, the parathyroids are only involved in calcium regulation within the body. An adenoma (cancerous tissue) on this gland may cause an over-production of parathyroid hormones and alter calcium levels, which generally requires surgical removal of the glands.
