The calcitonin is a hormone which is produced by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid glands in humans. It helps in regulating the calcium as well as phosphate in the blood. It is opposite to the action of parathyroid hormone.
The bone remodeling is regulated by the parathyroid hormone, glucocorticoids, calcitriol, sex hormones and thyroid hormones. The calcitonin is not involved primarily in bone remodeling.
Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the parafollicular cells present in the thyroid gland.
The Calcitonin plays an important role in the human body as they reduce the level of phosphate and calcium in the blood.
The calcitonin is produced by the C-cells in response to the amount of the calcium levels in the blood as a high concentration of calcium cause release of calcitonin.
Since the calcitonin is involved in the regulation of calcium of blood and not bones therefore, false is the correct answer.
