Answer: False

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

The correct answer will be-False

Explanation:

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.

Filip, aged 64, was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. His medical reports will most likely reveal a diminished production of
UNO [17]

Answer:

Filip's medical report, diagnosed with Alzhaimer's, may reveal a diminished production of acethylcholine.

Explanation:

Alzhaimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that causes immediate memory loss, behavioral changes and cognitive impairment, due to neuronal alterations and atrophy.

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine —related to neuronal transmission and body movement— may experience a decrease in its production leading to Alzheimer's, according to the cholinergic hypothesis.

Many therapies and treatments at present are based on the use of drugs to correct the acetylcholine deficit.

Regarding other options:

  • <em>Dopamine: alteration or deficit is related to Parkinson's disease.</em>
  • <em>Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA): deficiency is not common and is related to a type of congenital and infantile neuropathy. </em>
  • <em>Serotonin: deficit of this neurotransmitter can lead to depression and psychological disorders.</em>
