Answer:
Calcitonin- reduce blood calcium level
Parathyroid hormone- Raise blood calcium level
Explanation:
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland which secrete its hormone in the blood directly. Both calcitonin and parathyroid hormone are released by the thyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone is released when the blood calcium level is low.
Parathyroid hormone increases the blood calcium level by osteoclast stimulation which releases calcium from bones and increases blood calcium level. Calcitonin is antagonistic to parathyroid hormone and it reduce the blood calcium level in the blood by stimulating the activity of osteoblast.

Explanation:
The question was incomplete as the diagram was missing, however, the correct diagram is attached with the answer -
Answer:
The correct answer is - scale
Explanation:
The thermometer used to measure temperature by comparison of the object or the parameter of the temperature to measure, with a calibrated pattern that is called scale.
A Thermometer has two scales on both left and right side: degrees Celsius on the left and degrees Fahrenheit on the right.
As given in diagram label with "A'' in a circle on the left side is The degrees of the scale.

Answer:</h2>
I believe the correct answer is FALSE.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Innate immunity is a fast acting response to confront a pathogen but does not keep memory. It is initiated and carried out by cell and can be refered to as cellular immunity lasting for a short term.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>Innate Immunity:</h3>
This is the first line of defence and involves only cells. It lasts for a short period usually around 12 hours. It includes physical barries. The cells involved are: epithelial cells, dendritic cells, plasma proteins and natural killer cells. All the cells involved are macrocytes. It functions to recognize and attack the pathogen before the second type of immunity called adaptive immunity sets in. It usually is also non specific and responds generally to any pathogen.
<h3>Adaptive Immunity:</h3>
It is a much more longer lasting type of immunities and has memory. It has a combination of cells and humoral components. It involves Naive B cells which are triggered to release antibodies known as Immunoglobulins depending on the cause of the trigger. Immunoglobulins include IgG, IgM, IgA, IgG and IgD and are usually Y-shaped. Additionally, it involves Naive T cells that are activated into Effector T-cells to assist in fighting the pathogen. This type of immunity is more focused and specific antibodies are released for specific infections/pathogens. It lasts up to 5 days or longer depending on the pathogen. It also takes time to mount up and produce a response.
