How does the thyroid gland help maintain and regulate calcium?

Biology
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When the calcium level is high in the bloodstream, the thyroid gland releases calcitonin. Calcitonin slows down the activity of the osteoclasts found in bone. This decreases blood calcium levels. When calcium levels decrease, this stimulates the parathyroid gland to release parathyroid hormone.
