Answer:

D) parathyroid hormone

Explanation:

Calcitonin and parathyroid hormones work against each other. Calcitonin is secreted by thyroid gland and parathyroid hormone is secreted by parathyroid gland. They both regulate serum calcium levels by affecting kidney, bone and intestine.

Calcitonin decreases calcium level when it has crossed its normal level. It is produced by parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone increases calcium level. It increases blood calcium level by simulating osteoclasts which release calcium from bone.

Explain on how the media can influence public opinion of sports personalities in both a positive and a negative way...Life Orien
Lesechka [4]
Media develops an image of the sports personalities. They portray them good/bad, which affects the sponsorship being received by the sports persons. Any negative image or personal behavior hampers their image or sometimes entire career. The positive image draws affection of the people and brings more money from sponsors. Media also interferes too much in their personal lives and irritate them.
