The two atria are thin-walled chambers that receive blood from the veins. The two ventricles are thick-walled chambers that forcefully pump blood out of the heart. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from systemic veins; the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins.

Hope this helps!

joja [24]
If the translation does not occur or works badly, then the ribosomes can't create new proteins. If the body fails to make proteins, it stops working. That's because proteins are essential for the well being of your body, and not just in the sense that eating meat gives you protein. The ones created by ribosomes are much more important.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

A) Calcitonin injection

Explanation:

Parafollicular cells or C-cells of the thyroid gland produce a hormone which is involved in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood. This hormone is Calcitonin. It works in an antagonistic manner with the Parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcitonin decreases the calcium level in the blood by increasing absorption of calcium ions in bones. In osteoporosis, when the patient is given the injection of hormone calcitonin, it produces and increase in bone mass because it negatively affects the rate of absorption of bone by the osteoclasts.
