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."


What hormone controls the metabolism of calcium?

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) controls the metabolism of calcium in the body by increasing calcium levels in the blood through actions on the kidneys, bones, and intestines.


In a snail what factor controls the thickness of the shell?

its diet and the amount of calcium it consumes.


What amount of calcium in blood and bones out of control?

normal calcium blood level is 8.5 to 10 mg / dl


How bones help the body maintain homeostasis?

homoeostasis of the bone calcium is via parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH controls the amount of vitamin the production and therefore how much calcium is absorbed in gut. PTH also controls the balance between calcium in the blood and the bone.


What control the amount of calcium in your blood?

thyroid gland


What is the protein that controls the amount of sugar in the blood?

glucose


What may occur if calcitonin is hypersecreted?

Low blood calcium. Calcitonin decreases blood calcium therefore it would result in an even lower amount of calcium.


Why is calcitonin released?

To reduce the amount of calcium and phosphates in the blood without augmenting calcium accretion.


Calcium is found in which part of the body?

Calcium is stored in bones, with a smaller amount in the blood, and in each cell.


What are the main functions of the parathyroid gland?

The parathyroid gland produces parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates the blood calcium level. When blood calcium is low, PTH is secreted and stimulates the digestion of bone tissue by osteoclasts, this releases calcium from the bone into the bloodstream. Calcitonin has the opposite effect of PTH, and is released from the thyroid gland when blood calcium is too high.


Name the protein that controls the amount of sugar in the blood?

Insulin is the protein that controls the amount of sugar in the blood. It is produced by the pancreas and helps regulate blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose from the blood into cells for energy.
