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 term used for the elements and compounds before a chemical reaction takes place?
alexandr1967 [171]

Explanation:

Before a chemical reaction, the elements and compounds which are about to take part in the reaction are known as reactants.

And, when the chemical reaction takes place between the given elements and compounds then they change into products.

For example, we take sodium and chlorine elements and before any chemical reaction they are the reactants.

But when a chemical reaction takes place between sodium and chlorine then it results into the formation of sodium chloride which is the product.
