Summary Introduction

Introduction :

The hormone that helps to regulate blood calcium levels is calcitonin. In response to high blood calcium levels, the thyroid gland specifically, its parafollicular cells releases calcitonin. Calcitonin inhibits osteoclast activity primarily. Furthermore, calcitonin stimulates the kidneys to increase calcium loss in the urine. As a result, blood calcium levels decrease.
