The parathyroid glands (4 of them) secrete parathyroid hormone to increase blood calcium. When the parathyroid glands detect low blood calcium levels, they secrete more parathyroid hormone, which causes the bones to release calcium to the bloodstream, thereby increasing blood calcium levels.
The hormone produced by the para follicular cells of the thyroid
gland is calcitonin (CT).
CT can decrease the level of calcium in the blood by inhibiting
the action of osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone extracellular
matrix. The secretion of CT is controlled by a negative
feedback system.
When its blood level is high,calcitonin lowers the amount of
blood calcium and phosphates by inhibiting bone resorption
(breakdown of bone extracellular matrix) by osteoclasts and by
accelerating uptake of calcium and phosphates into bone extracellular
matrix.
Calcitonin is the thyroid hormone that decreases blood calcium concentration.
calcitonin
Calcitonin
the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released by the parathyroid gland (located behind the thyroid gland). A decrease in blood calcium causes the parathyroid gland to secrete PTH which causes the bones to release more calcium to raise blood calcium and also causes the kidneys to decrease the amount of calcium lost in urine
Hypoglycemia
False.
parathyroid hormone. it causes calcium to be released into the blood.
Histamine.
a decrease in the blood concentration of calcium

A calcium channel blocker is a chemical that stops the motion of calcium in your body. It is a drug to decrease blood pressure and helps with hypertension.

It hinders it. EDTA, a commonly used anticoagulant, works by chelating calcium. This also has the consequence that large volumes of blood transfusions causes calcium deficiency.
It increases the concentration of calcium in the blood. Calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels.
Calcium is important in the clotting of blood.
High calcium in the blood is called hypercalceamia. It can have various causes but Primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancy account for about 90% of cases of hypercalcaemia
