Which hormones are responsible to maintain the stable blood calcium level?
Group of answer choices:
Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin
Calcitonin and thyroid hormone
Adrenalin and angiotensin
Insulin and glucagon
The correct answer is the first option.
Parathyroid hormone and Calcitonin hormones play an important role in the regulation of blood calcium levels.When the blood calcium levels are low, Parathyroid hormone is released from the parathyroid glands which activates the osteoclasts leading to bone resorption and calcium release.Increases the reabsorption of calcium from the kidneys.
Calcitonin is produced by parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland.It is released in response to high calcium levels in the blood.It inhibits the activity of osteoclasts and decreases the reabsorption of calcium from the kidneys.It opposes the function of PTH and decreases the resorption of bone.
