Calcitonin Calcitonin Calcitonin
Calcitonin
The hormone is called as calcitonin. This hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands.
Calcitonin!
The abbreviation for calcitonin is CT.
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)
Calcitonin comes from the thyroid, the butterfly-shaped gland in your throat.
Calcitonin injections have no effect on vertebral bone density...it is anticipated when doing the experiment that there would be...but there is not. (Marieb)
Osteoclast activity is decreased when calcitonin is present. Calcitonin inhibits bone resorption by osteoclasts, leading to decreased breakdown of bone tissue.
Parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland produce calcitonin.
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.
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.
