Definition
(Thyroid) Produced in follicular cells, increases rate of cellular metabolism and oxygen consumption of all cells
Term
Calcitionin
Definition
(Thyroid) Produced by C-cells/parafollicular cells, lowers calcium concentration by inhibiting work of osteoclasts(break down bone) & stimulates calcium concentration loss by kidneys
Term
Parathyroid Glands
Definition

  • Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)

Term
Parathyroid H. (PTH)
Definition
(opposite of Calcitonin) raises calcium concentration by stimulating increase in osteoclast activity and reducing excretion of Ca in urine.
