The endocrine glands are The parathyroid glands.

The parathyroid glands are classically four in number for the majority of patients. They secrete parathyroid hormone, a hormone needed for calcium metabolism. The overproduction of parathyroid hormone or parathyroid hormone, or on the contrary, the deficiency of parathyroid hormone (PTH), are two pathologies that can affect the parathyroid glands.

Parathyroid glands are original endocrine glands: they are devoid of pituitary control. It is the changes in blood calcium that regulate their secretion.

Parathyroid hormone secreted by parathyroids raises the level of calcium in the blood.

Parathyroid hormone plays a crucial role in the metabolism of calcium and vitamin D.

10. Which of the following is not one of the three principal types of faults?
ycow [4]

D. Lateral​

Explanation:

Lateral faults are not one of the three principal types of faults. A fault is a geologic structure produced as a result of brittle deformation of a rock. It results in blocks of rocks moving relatively one another.

There are three types of faults in a rock:

  • Normal fault
  • Thrust fault
  • Strike slip fault

Normal and reverse faults can also be referred to as dip-slip fault.

  • In a strike slip fault, two rocks slide past one another.
  • This is different from dip slip faults in which a block slides down or up of another.
