Calcium Regulation Calcitonin by Beatrice Totimeh
Calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland when blood calcium levels
rise. It promotes the uptake of calcium into the bones. The decrease in blood
calcium levels creates a feedback loop that inhibits the release of calcitonin from
the thyroid gland. This the action of calcitonin helps to regulate calcium
homeostasis.
