Question:

The control of calcium levels in the blood is due to which pair of hormones?

A)
triiodothyronine and thyroxine
B)
tryptophan and tyrosine
C)
parathormone and thyrocalcitonin
D)
GH and PTH

T3 and T4


Answers:

I believe that the correct answer is c........

Calcitonine (or thyrocalcitonine) inhibits deportation of calcium from the bones and parathroid hormone or PTH stimulates the uptake of calcium into the bones.
