Answer:

A) An increase in calcitonin produced by the thyroid gland.

Explanation:

Calcitonin is also referred as thyrocalcitonin (TCT). It is a protein hormone and is secreted by the parafollicular cells or C-cells of thyroid gland. It is secreted in response to high blood calcium levels. It is also know as hypocalcemic hormone as it helps in reducing the blood calcium levels to normal.

Calcitonin once released helps in reducing the blood calcium levels to normal by:

1.Calcitonin inhibits osteoclasts, which dissolve the bone matrix and cause demineralization moving the bone calcium to blood.

2. Calcitonin also inhibits the absorption of calcium in the gut.

3. It increases the excretion calcium.

Generally the calcium homeostasis is regulated by three hormones: TCT, parathyroid hormone and calcitriol. Parathyroid hormone and calcitriol are produced when there is low calcium in blood plasma whereas calcitonin is produced when there is high calcium in blood plasma.

What is the function of the cell identified with the letter C? Normal adult human blood smear with three different formed elemen
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The leukocyte, commonly known as a white blood cell (or WBC), is a major component of the body’s defenses against disease. Leukocytes protect the body against invading microorganisms and body cells with mutated DNA, and they clean up debris. Platelets are essential for the repair of blood vessels when damage to them has occurred; they also provide growth factors for healing and repair.Although leukocytes and erythrocytes both originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, they are very different from each other in many significant ways. For instance, leukocytes are far less numerous than erythrocytes: Typically there are only 5000 to 10,000 per µL. They are also larger than erythrocytes and are the only formed elements that are complete cells, possessing a nucleus and organelles. And although there is just one type of erythrocyte, there are many types of leukocytes. Most of these types have a much shorter lifespan than that of erythrocytes, some as short as a few hours or even a few minutes in the case of acute infection.

Hope this helps :)

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

A prostaglandins

Explanation:

Fever is the abnormal body temperature that is caused by pyrogens.Pyrogens  are the chemicals produced by pathogen. Fever is protective mechanism of body to fight against pathogens. It is actually the immune response that spread to whole body with elevated temperataure. The elevated temperature helps to deal with pathogen more efficiently.

The interleukins released be immune cells in response pyrogen ultimately lead to release of prostaglandin E2. Prostaglandin E2 reset the hypothalamus thermoregulation. The hypothalamus feels the body temperature is cool although how high is the body temperature.
