Thyroid Gland
What hormone is responsible for osteoclasts?
The parathyroid hormone. Also called as parathormone. This hormone is secreted by parathyroid glands.
How do parathryoid glands maintain adequate levels of calcium?
Parathyroid gland secrete parathyroid hormone called PTH. PTH regulates calcium level in the body by transferring calcium from the bone and when body has excess calcium, PTH helps them to deposit into the bone.
What gland secretes pth?
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), parathormone or parathyrin, is secreted by the chief cells of the Parathyroid Glands as a Polypeptide containing 84 amino acids.Basically these glands are present behind the thyroid gland and varies in number. The main function of PTH is to increase Blood Ca2+ level.
What does PTH stand for?
PTH is generally used to refer to the polypeptide parathyroid hormone (parathormone). It is secreted by the parathyroid to raise the level of calcium ions (Ca++) in the blood. A link can be found below.

The parathyroid hormone. Also called as parathormone. This hormone is secreted by parathyroid glands.
What is the hormone whose production in inadequate amounts results in tetany?
excess calcitonin or decreased parathormone
What hormones control calcium balance between bone and blood?

What is produced by parafollicular cells in the thyroid?
The parafollicular cells (also called C cells) secrete the hormone calcitonin. Calcitonin is a weak hormone that helps in the regulation of calcium in some animals. In humans, calcitonin has only a minor role in calcium regulation.
Which gland secretes parathormone?
Parathyroid chief cells secretes parathormone.
What is the intact PTH assay used for?
The assay for intact PTH and the N-terminal fragment, which are both measured at the same time, is more accurate in detecting sudden changes in the PTH level. For this reason, the N-terminal PTH assay is used to monitor a patient's response to therapy.
What gland produce parathormone?
Parathormone is produced by parathyroid glands.
