The hormone calcitonin is released from the thyroid gland in response to increased levels of calcium ions in the blood. If this

The hormone calcitonin is controlled by a negative feedback mechanism because it's release leads to the decrease of calcium blood levels.

<h3>What is negative feedback mechanism?</h3>

A negative feedback mechanism is the defined as a type of regulatory mechanism in the body where by the increased output of a system leads to a decrease of another system.

Therefore, the release of the hormone calcitonin (increased level of calcitonin in the blood) will lead to decrease in blood levels of calcium.

What is normally present in urine? How does the filtration barrier function to prevent things from entering the filtrate? What d
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Generally urine comprises about 95 percent water, 2 percent electrolytes, that is, ions of salts, primarily sulphates, chlorides, potassium, bicarbonates of sodium, and others, 2.6 percent urea, 0.3 percent uric acid, and small quantities of ammonia, creatinine, hormones, some of the pigments, hippuric acid, and allantoin.  

The filtration barrier comprises of the glomerular capillaries fenestrated endothelium, the filtration slits of the podocytes, and the fused basal lamina of the podocytes and the endothelial cells. The barrier allows the entry of water, small molecules, and ions from the bloodstream into the space of Bowman capsule.  

The barrier restricts passing of negatively charged and/or large proteins like albumin. The basal lamina of the filtration barrier comprises three layers. Any small molecules like glucose, water, salt, urea, and amino acids can pass freely into the Bowman's space, however, the cells, large proteins, and platelets do not.
