Does parathyroid gland secretes calcitonin?
No, the parathyroid gland secretes parathyroid hormone (PTH), not calcitonin. PTH helps regulate calcium levels in the blood by stimulating the release of calcium from bones and increasing calcium absorption in the intestines and kidneys. Calcitonin is produced by the thyroid gland and helps regulate calcium levels by decreasing calcium release from bones.
