What organelle makes steriods in gland cells regulates calcium in muscle cells and break down toxins in liver cells?

The endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) is the organelle that makes steroids in gland cells, regulates calcium in muscle cells, and breaks down toxins in liver cells. It is involved in lipid synthesis, calcium storage, and detoxification processes in various cell types.


Which is not a fact for why your body needs calcium in significant amounts?

calcium maintains healthy red blood cells


What is the organelle that makes steroids in gland cells regulates calcium in muscle cells and breaks down toxins in liver cells is the?

Endoplasmic reticulum is the organelle that is responsible for synthesizing steroids in gland cells, regulating calcium in muscle cells, and detoxifying substances in liver cells. It consists of rough ER, involved in protein synthesis, and smooth ER, which aids in lipid metabolism and detoxification.


What is calcitonin released from?

Calcitonin is released from the C cells (also known as parafollicular cells) in the thyroid gland. It helps regulate calcium levels in the blood by decreasing calcium levels when they are too high.


What hormone is secreted by cells of the thyroid gland works with the parathyroid hormone to regulate the calcium levels in the blood and tissues?

Calcitonin is the hormone secreted by cells of the thyroid gland that works with parathyroid hormone to regulate calcium levels in the blood and tissues. Calcitonin helps to lower blood calcium levels by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone tissue and release calcium into the bloodstream.

What types of cells take calcium from the blood?

Osteoblasts, which are bone-forming cells, can take calcium from the blood to build and strengthen bones. Additionally, some specialized cells in the kidneys called distal convoluted tubule cells play a role in regulating calcium levels by reabsorbing or excreting calcium as needed.
