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.

How does the Digestive system help maintain homeostasis?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The bacterial flora in the intestines are essential to homeostasis in the body, they not only break down food so the nutrients can be absorbed, they produce vitamins like biotin and vitamin K and guard against harmful bacteria that enter the system. While your heart is a vital organ, the brain (and the nervous system that attaches to the brain) make up the most critical organ system in the human body. The digestive system ordinarily gets 20% to 25% of the oxygenated blood pumped out by the heart and the receptors in muscles provide the brain with information about body position and movement, the brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle the nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the digestive tract.
