Calcitonin decreases calcium levels in the blood. A good way to remember it is "Calcitonin tones down the calcium."

What hormone pairs are antagonists that regulate blood calcium ion levels?
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin regulate blood calcium levels. PTH increases the calcium concentration in the blood, and calcitonin decreases it.
The major hormone that decreases blood calcium levels is produced in the?
Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the thyroid . This is the major hormone that acts to decrease blood calcium levels.
Glands or organs produces hormones that tend to decrease blood calcium levels?
The hormone calcitonin acts to reduce blood calcium
What hormone regulates blood calcium levels?
Parathyroid glands secrete PTH (parathyroid hormone) to regulate blood calcium levels.
What hormones are antagonists that regulate blood calcium ion levels?
parathyroid hormone/calcitonin
Which is greater when blood calcium levels when parathyroid hormone is increased or decreased?
When calcium levels increase, parathyroid hormone decreases. When calcium levels decrease, parathyroid hormone increases. This is known as a negative feedback system.
What hormones deal with the calcium levels in the blood?
Calcitonin, parathyroid hormone and vitamin D.
How does calcitonin and parathroid hormones work to control blood calcium levels and what are their targets?
Calcitonin is the other major hormone involved with calcium regulation. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), produced by the parathyroid gland, increases the level of calcium in the blood. It usually accomplishes this by increasing the resorption rate (taking back) from bone. Calcitonin does the exact opposite and reduces calcium in the blood. Calcitonin is produce in the thyroid gland and removes calcium in the blood primarily by putting calcium back into bone.
What is the effect of calcitonin and parathyroid hormone?
Calcitonic and Parathamon decrease calcium level.Phosphate level is decreased by calcitonin.Parathon increase it.
Hormones help control the calcium levels in the blood?
Yes, a hormone named calcitonin secreted from thyroid and parathyroid glands controls calcium in body.
Which hormones controls the calcium level in the body?
The parathyroid glands produce hormones that regulate calcium levels.Calcitonin produced by the thyroid gland, and PTH produced by the parathyroid gland.
Which of the thyroid hormones induces calcium to leave the blood and enter bones for increased bone formation?
parathormone or parathyroid hormone
