Biology
1 answer:
Sergio [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Thyrocalcitonin or TCT

Explanation:

Thyrocalcitonin or TCT is a non-iodinated calcium lowering hormone. It is originating from the parafollicular cells or C cells (C for calcium).  

The thyroid gland consists of follicles of cuboidal epithelial cells. These cuboidal cells have a nucleus at the base. These are principal cells responsible for the synthesis of thyroid hormones.

 In between these follicular cells, other high cuboidal cells are present, known as parafollicular cells / C cells. These cells synthesise the hormone TCT. When there is high levels of calcium ions in the serum, TCT will release. This lowers the high level of calcium ions in the blood and plasma to normal level. This is done due to the deposition of calcium in the bone.

What is the primary advantage of noneugenol periodontal surgical dressing over periodontal surgical dressing that does contain e
daser333 [38]

Some people may develop redness and burning discomfort in the vicinity of the bandage if they are allergic to eugenol.

  • In order to lower the danger of surgery site infection and bleeding, speed up wound healing, and lessen patients' pain and discomfort, periodontal dressings were devised.
  • The ability of eugenol-based dressings to numb pain and make sites less sensitive made them popular in the past, especially after gingivectomy.
  • Based on its antibacterial qualities, zinc oxide-eugenol dressings appeared to prevent or delay bacterial development. However, it was discovered that eugenol irritated oral mucosal tissues, caused allergic reactions, and caused tissue necrosis, especially in bone, which slowed the healing process.
  • Thus, noneugenol periodontal surgical dressing are preferred.
