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.

Approximately how quickly do the Earth's crustal plates move? A. A few centimeters a year B. A few centimeters a month C. A few
aliya0001 [1]

The correct answer is - A. A few centimeters a year.

Earth's crustal plates move very slowly, between 2 cm and 5 cm (depending on the plate) annually. This is the reason why it takes millions of years for them to significantly change their position, and with it the appearance of our planet. These crustal plates are slowly moving around the planet because they are powered by flow in the interior mantle.
