Name a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland that acts to lower blood calcium?
Calcitonin is the hormone that lowers calcium levels.
What thyroid hormone tends to keep calcium in the bone?
An additional hormone produced by the thyroid contributes to the regulation of blood calcium levels. Parafollicular cells produce calcitonin in response to hypercalcemia. Calcitonin stimulates movement of calcium into bone, in opposition to the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH). However, calcitonin seems far less essential than PTH, as calcium metabolism remains clinically normal after removal of the thyroid, but not the parathyroids.
