What gland increases blood calcium level stimulates calcium re-absorption and activates vitamin D?
The Parathyroids Gland.
What kind of endocrine gland is characterized by a low level of calcium in the blood serum and urine?
Do you mean an endocrine gland that can lower calcium level? If this is your question, the answer is thyroid gland. It produdes calcitonin that lowers calcium level opposing the effect of parathyroid gland which increases calcium level.If you mean, a condition that is characterized by low level of calcium in blood, it is called hypocalcemia.
What is the gland that is responsible for producing a hormone that increases the level of calcium ions in the blood called?
pituitary glands
Which hormones increases the calcium levels in the blood?
Calcitonin - Thyroid Gland
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.
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.
What gland increases blood calcium content?
Parathyroid glands. They produce the parathyroid hormone. These small glands are situated on the thyroid gland.
What are the effects of parathyroid horomone in relation to calcium?
It increases the calcium level. Also decreases phosphate level
Which hormone is secreted by the parathyroids?
It produces hormone parathomon. It increases the Ca level and decrease the phosphate level of bllod
Glands or organs produces hormones that tend to decrease blood calcium levels?
The hormone calcitonin acts to reduce blood calcium
What gland increases the blood calcium levels?
The parathyroid glands consist of 4 small glands that are located within the thyroid gland. They produce a hormone called Parathyroid Hormone (PTH). PTH and calcitonin together maintain the homeostasis of Ca++ in the blood. Calcitonin hormone is produced by the thyroid. Together, these two hormones keep the calcium levels in the blood within normal ranges. It reduces the calcium level while its' partner increases the level.
When the blood calcium level begins to rise the thyroid gland releases what?
calcitonin
