Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the c cells of the Thyroid gland.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The c cells present in the thyroid are otherwise called Parafollicular cells. The primary function of c cells is to secrete Calcitonin (a protein hormone) which has a minor role in calcium regulation.
  • Calcitonin decreases the parathyroid hormone (PTH), by lowering blood calcium level by suppressing osteoclast activity of bones and increases of calcium Which is excreted along with the urine.
  • The C cells are found next to the Thyroid follicles and present in the connective tissue.

How are gasses exchanged in the alveoli
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The alveolar walls and capillary walls share a membrane. That's how close they're getting. This allows oxygen and carbon dioxide to readily pass from the respiratory system to the circulation. Oxygen molecules bind to red blood cells as they return to the heart.
