False.
The hormone is called as calcitonin. This hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin are the main hormones involved in regulating calcium levels in the blood. PTH helps increase calcium levels by promoting its release from bones and absorption from the intestine, while calcitonin helps decrease calcium levels by promoting its deposition in bones.
When blood calcium levels are too high, the hormone calcitonin is released. Calcitonin helps regulate calcium levels by promoting its deposition into bone tissue, thus lowering blood calcium levels.
The hormone that has the opposite function of calcitonin is parathyroid hormone (PTH). While calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels by promoting its deposition in bones, PTH increases blood calcium levels by stimulating calcium release from bones, absorption in the intestines, and reabsorption in the kidneys.
Parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland produce calcitonin.

It increases the concentration of calcium in the blood. Calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels.
Calcitonin is the hormone that responds to high levels of calcium in the blood by promoting calcium deposition in the bones, thus helping to lower blood calcium levels.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) directly antagonizes the effect of calcitonin. Calcitonin and PTH have opposing effects on bone metabolism, with calcitonin working to decrease calcium levels in the blood, while PTH works to increase calcium levels.
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)
False
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin are antagonistic hormones that regulate blood calcium ion levels. PTH increases blood calcium levels by promoting calcium release from bone and absorption from the intestines, while calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels by inhibiting bone resorption.
Calcitonin works with the hormone parathyroid hormone (PTH) to regulate calcium levels in the blood and tissues. Calcitonin helps reduce blood calcium levels by inhibiting bone breakdown and promoting calcium excretion by the kidneys. PTH, on the other hand, works to increase blood calcium levels by stimulating bone breakdown and enhancing calcium reabsorption by the kidneys.
Excess calcium is stored in the bones when blood calcium levels increase. This process is regulated by hormones such as calcitonin and parathyroid hormone, which help maintain calcium balance in the body.
When blood calcium levels are too high, the hormone calcitonin is released. Calcitonin helps regulate calcium levels by promoting its deposition into bone tissue, thus lowering blood calcium levels.
Calcitonin is the hormone that works with parathyroid hormone to regulate calcium levels in the blood and tissues. Calcitonin helps to lower blood calcium levels by promoting calcium deposition in bones.
