GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Calcitonin-a hormone from the parathyroid which lowers the calcium-level of the blood. Nature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Calcitonin’s main job is to lower calcium levels in your blood (not your bones). It does this in two main ways: Calcitonin inhibits (blocks) the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone. When osteoclasts break down your bone, the calcium from your bone is released into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -Calcitonin is a 32 amino acid hormone secreted by the C-cells of the thyroid gland.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin (CT) are two peptide hormones that play important roles in calcium homeostasis through their actions on osteoblasts (bone forming cells) and osteoclasts (bone resorbing cells), respectively.

Detailed explanation-5: -Calcitonin is a hormone that helps control the level of calcium in your blood. Calcitonin is made in your thyroid gland by cells called “C cells.” Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck. Normally, you have a small amount of calcitonin in your blood.
