Answer:

A) Calcitonin injection

Explanation:

Parafollicular cells or C-cells of the thyroid gland produce a hormone which is involved in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood. This hormone is Calcitonin. It works in an antagonistic manner with the Parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcitonin decreases the calcium level in the blood by increasing absorption of calcium ions in bones. In osteoporosis, when the patient is given the injection of hormone calcitonin, it produces and increase in bone mass because it negatively affects the rate of absorption of bone by the osteoclasts.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer/Explanation:

Recall:

Volume of a sphere = ⁴/3πr³

Surface Area = 4πr²

✔️For radius (r) = 1 mm:

Volume = ⁴/3 × π × 1³ = 4.19 mm³

Surface Area = 4 × π × 1² = 12.57 mm²

Ratio of volume to surface area = 4.19 : 12.57 = 1:3

✔️For radius (r) = 3 mm:

Volume = ⁴/3 × π × 3³ = 113.1 mm³

Surface Area = 4 × π × 3² = 113.1 mm²

Ratio of volume to surface area = 113.1 : 113.1 = 1:1
