You would know that the endocrine system deals with?
the internal secretion of hormones into the blood.
Where is excess calcium stored when blood calcium levels increase?
Blood
Which gland relates to the structure of calcium in blood?
The thyroid gland produces calcitonin which lowers blood calcium levels and the parathyroids produce parathyroid hormone which increases blood calcium levels.
How is calcium regulated in the blood?
The body's calcium level is regulated by a gland in the endocrine system, it is called the Parathyroid Gland.
How can Plasma glucose levels during exercise increase?
The blood glucose is used by the muscles during exercise. The level of the glucose in the blood drops down. This stimulates the secretion of the hormone called as glucagon. This glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells of the endocrine part of the pancreas.
What type of reflex does the secretion of the hormone insulin in response to changes in blood glucose levels?
Endocrine reflex
How does hypocalcemia prevent insulin secretion?
To release insulin from the endocrine pancreas cells, the vesicles in the cell need calcium to bind to the internal cell membrane and eject their contents into the blood stream. If a person (or animal) is hypocalcemic (has low blood calcium levels), there isn't enough calcium in the pancreas cell to release the insulin.
What type of stimulation controls parathyroid release?
Negative feedback between the parathyroid glands and the blood calcium concentrations regulates parathyroid hormone secretion. As blood calcium concentration drops, more parathyroid hormone is secreted; as blood calcium concentration rises, less parathyroid hormone is secreted.

What two endocrine glands have antagonistic functions?
Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands are Antagonistic. -Thyroid gland produces Calcitonin, which lowers blood calcium levels. -Parathyroid gland produces Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), which raises blood calcium levels. There are very many "antagonistic" hormones that are produced by endocrine glands.
A function of the skeletal system is to act as a storage area for calcium true or false?
True, blood calcium is very tightly regulated there are two types of bone cells that will either take up excess calcium if blood levels get too high or break down bone to release calcium if blood levels get to low. Both of these bone cells are controlled by the endocrine system in the body.
Does parathormone increase or decrease calcium levels in the blood?
It increases the concentration of calcium in the blood. Calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels.
The secretion of parathyroid hormone is controlled primarily by the?
concentration of blood calcium.
