pARATHYROID GALNS LOCATED ON THROID CONTROL AMOUNT OF CALCIUN AND PHOSPHORUS IN OUR BODY

One major function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is the regulate the intracellular levels of CA2+ for contractions and relaxation for muscles. Sarcoplasmic Reticulum is a storage organelle with calcium ion pumps on membrane and use ATP to fuel pumps to get calcium ion inside it's cell and holds it. When contraction of muscle is needed calcium ion is then dumped into cytoplasm to cause contraction.
Parathyroid hormone secreted by the parathyroid gland regulates the resorption of Ca2+ from bone, reabsorption in the kidney back into circulation, and increases the activation of vitamin D3 to Calcitriol. Calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3, promotes absorption of calcium from the intestines and the mobilization of calcium ions from bone matrix. Calcitonin secreted from the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland also affects calcium levels by opposing parathyroid hormone, however, its physiological significance in humans is dubious.
The function of calcium salts is to provide hardness and strength and resist compression.
Because they Thyroid makes its own natural hormones. When it was removed the body needed a new place for the hormones to come from.Actually, the thyroid itself has little to do with calcium. so the answer is only partially correct. Embedded in the thyroid tissue there are 4 little glands, the parathyroids. These produce a hormone called parathyroid hormone or PTH. PTH stimulates calcium absorption in the instestine, calcium reabsorption in the kidneys and liberates calcium from the bones. Hence the need for the calcium supplement.The thyroid gland produces many hormones that are necessary for normal body function. When the gland is removed (a thyroidectomy) the deficiency of these hormones results in hypothyroidism without external treatment - hormone therapy. Calcium (and vitamin D) are necessary to prevent hypocalcemia secondary to hypoparathyroidism, that is, a low level of of calcium in the blood (very serious) due to insuffient parathyroid hormone levels (parathyroid hormone functions to increase blood levels of calcium).

parathyroid hormone/calcitonin
The thyroid gland produces calcitonin. The parathyroid gland produces PTH. Both hormones work together to regulate the amount of clcium in the blood and tissues.
A function of the thyroid gland is the regulates calcium in blood
You need calcium for: bone growth and strength Muscle function Blood clotting regulating hormones and enzymes
The parathyroid glands produce hormones that regulate calcium levels.Calcitonin produced by the thyroid gland, and PTH produced by the parathyroid gland.
Parathyroid glands secrete PTH (parathyroid hormone) to regulate blood calcium levels.
You are probably referring to the popularly known hormone estrogen which has a function in the absorption of calcium. However, the process is complex and involves a number of lesser known hormones such as calcitonine and PTH, and also vitamins D and K.
The thyroid gland produces the hormones triiodothyronine and thyroxine, which regulate both metabolism and growth, as well as calcitonin, which helps to maintain levels of calcium in the body.
The various glands in the body work to regulate numerous body processes. The gland that works to regulate the homeostasis of calcium is called the parathyroid gland.
Calcium is key for the health of your bones and teeth, muscles, hormones and nerve function. Research has suggested (but not yet confirmed), that calcium helps preventing PMS, high blood preassure and possibly weight gain.
The parathyroid glands produce and secrete parathyroid hormone which regulates calcium levels in the blood. Since it increases blood calcium levels, it promotes the function of osteoclasts, which reduce the calcium in bones and promote its increase in the blood stream.
