10 pg/mL or less
What hormone causes a decrease in blood calcium levels?
The hormone is called as calcitonin. This hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands.
What does calcitonin hormone do?
lowers calcium level
What thyroid hormone tends to keep calcium in the bone?
An additional hormone produced by the thyroid contributes to the regulation of blood calcium levels. Parafollicular cells produce calcitonin in response to hypercalcemia. Calcitonin stimulates movement of calcium into bone, in opposition to the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH). However, calcitonin seems far less essential than PTH, as calcium metabolism remains clinically normal after removal of the thyroid, but not the parathyroids.
What is the hormone antagonists of pth?
Calcitonin is an antagonist to PTH C cells increase calcitonin secretion due to high blood Ca levels PTH is secreted due to decrease in Ca level in blood Calcitonin allows osteoclasts to increase bone resorption when blood Ca level decreases.
What Hormone responds to high levels of calcium in the blood?

What controls the metabolism of calcium?
Calcitonin Calcitonin Calcitonin
What hormone controls the metabolism of calcium?
Calcitonin Calcitonin Calcitonin
What hormone works with the parathyroid hormoneto decrease calcium leveles in the blood and tissues?
Calcitocin works with parathormone to regulate the calcium level of body. Parathormone rises the calcium level and calcitonin reduces it.
