BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Calcitonin is a hormone that your thyroid gland makes and releases to help regulate calcium levels in your blood by decreasing it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Precise calcium levels are important in the human body, since small changes can cause muscle and nerve problems. The parathyroid hormone stimulates the following functions: Release of calcium by bones into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -If too much calcitonin is found in the blood, it may be a sign of a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). High levels may also be a sign of other thyroid diseases that can put you at a higher risk for getting MTC.

Detailed explanation-4: -Calcitonin reduces calcium levels in the blood by two main mechanisms: It inhibits the activity of osteoclasts, which are the cells responsible for breaking down bone. When bone is broken down, the calcium contained in the bone is released into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-5: -Calcitonin is an amino acid hormone produced and released in the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped gland that helps the body manage metabolism, muscle control, and other essential functions. Calcitonin helps regulate calcium levels in the blood-and appears to work against the parathyroid hormone (PTH).
