Where do calcitonin and parathyroid hormones come from?
Calcitonin is released from thyroid gland in response to hypercalemia. On the other hand, parathyroid hormone- as you guessed - is from parathyroid gland in response to low levels of blood calcium. Which will cause calcium to be released from bone into blood to compensate.
The hormone released by the extrafollicular cells of the thyroid causes a decrease in the blood calcium level is?
Calcitonin
Does parathyroid gland secretes calcitonin?
No,it does not produce.Thyroid produces hormone Calcitonin.
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.
Thyroxine and calcitonin are secreted by the?
Thyriod
The hormone that is that antagonist of calcitonin is?
The opponent or antagonist of calcitonin is the parathyroid hormone. The hormone is released from as polypeptide from the parathyroid glands.
What hormone is released when blood calcium levels are too high?
The hormone is called as calcitonin. This hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands.
What controls the metabolism of calcium?
Calcitonin Calcitonin Calcitonin
The hormone released in response to low blood calcium levels is?
Calcitonin
What hormone controls the metabolism of calcium?
Calcitonin Calcitonin Calcitonin
What hormone causes a decrease in blood calcium levels?
The hormone is called as calcitonin. This hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands.
The hormone that has the opposite function of calcitonin is?
parathyroid hormone. it causes calcium to be released into the blood.
A hormones that act as an agonist to calcitonin?
Calcitonin

What hormone antagonizes parathyroid hormone?
Calcitonin!
What hormone decreases blood calcium hormones?
Calcitonin decreases calcium levels in the blood. A good way to remember it is "Calcitonin tones down the calcium."Calcitonin (just remember calciTONin, tones down blood calcium)
The hormone released by the extrafollicular cells of the thyroid causes a decrease in the blood calcium level is?
Calcitonin
