Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid linear polypeptide hormone which is secreted in human beings primarily by the parafollicular cells (also known as C-cells) of the thyroid, it regulates calcium levels in the body
The thyroid gland is responsible for the manufacture of calcitonin.
Calcitonin is secreted by parafollicular cells which are part of the thyroid.
The gland which produces the hormone Calcitonin is the Thyroid. It is secreted in response to elevated blood calcium levels but only has a minor role in controlling calcium levels in humans.

No,it does not produce.Thyroid produces hormone Calcitonin.
Thyroid gland secretes/ makes calcitonin. Parathyroid gland maintains calcium (and phosphate) balance with calcitonin. Sounds weird but that's what it does.
The parathyroid hormone is secreted directly from the parathyroid gland. The thyroid gland secretes calcitonin.
The liver
thyroid gland secretes calcitonin which stimulates cell uptake by bones thus decreasing the blood calcium level
No,it does not produce.Thyroid produces hormone Calcitonin.
The Thyroid Gland secretes Calcitonin.
Calcitonin comes from the thyroid, the butterfly-shaped gland in your throat.
The thyroid gland secretes both of these. Thyroxine or T4 is the most prevalent secretion of the thyroid - it is the inactive form of tri-iodothyronine (T3) which is important for regulation of metabolism. T3 and T4 are secreted by the follicular cells. Calcitonin is secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland and acts to decrease blood calcium levels.
It stimulates thyroid gland.So thyroid secretes calcitonin or thyroxine.
The thyroid secretes a hormone called thyroxine, which is a hormone.Thyroid is an endocrine gland.It produces thyroxine and calcitonin
