What two endocrine glands have antagonistic functions?
Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands are Antagonistic. -Thyroid gland produces Calcitonin, which lowers blood calcium levels. -Parathyroid gland produces Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), which raises blood calcium levels. There are very many "antagonistic" hormones that are produced by endocrine glands.

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."
