How does the thyroid gland effect calcium regulation?
"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 does Calcitonin causes?
a decrease in the blood concentration of calcium

What causes blood calcium levels to decrease?
thyroid function involved
What is the danger of having high blood calcium levels?
Hypercalcemia, high amounts of calcium in the blood, has symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bone pain, dementia, and weakness. Hypercalcemia is commonly caused by improper function of the parathyroid glands.
What chemical causes a decrease in the blood calcium level?
The parathyroid glands (4 of them) secrete parathyroid hormone to increase blood calcium. When the parathyroid glands detect low blood calcium levels, they secrete more parathyroid hormone, which causes the bones to release calcium to the bloodstream, thereby increasing blood calcium levels.
What hormone stimulates the release of calcium?
the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released by the parathyroid gland (located behind the thyroid gland). A decrease in blood calcium causes the parathyroid gland to secrete PTH which causes the bones to release more calcium to raise blood calcium and also causes the kidneys to decrease the amount of calcium lost in urine
Calcitonin causes an increase in blood calcium levels true or false?
False.
