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 oxygen-rich blood moves from the aorta and reaches the kidneys through a series of blood vessels.
