The thyroid gland secretes both of these. Thyroxine or T4 is the most prevalent secretion of the thyroid - it is the inactive form of tri-iodothyronine (T3) which is important for regulation of metabolism. T3 and T4 are secreted by the follicular cells. Calcitonin is secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland and acts to decrease blood calcium levels.

Calcitonin is the hormone.
It is manufactured in and released from the parathyroid gland.

Does parathyroid gland secretes calcitonin?
No,it does not produce.Thyroid produces hormone Calcitonin.
What does the thyroid gland secrete?
The Thyroid Gland secretes Calcitonin.
What gland is the source of parathyroid and calcintonin?
The parathyroid hormone is secreted directly from the parathyroid gland. The thyroid gland secretes calcitonin.
How will you differentiate thyroid and parathyroid glands in terms of location and function?
Thyroid gland secretes/ makes calcitonin. Parathyroid gland maintains calcium (and phosphate) balance with calcitonin. Sounds weird but that's what it does.
What organ secretes calcitonin?
Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid linear polypeptide hormone which is secreted in human beings primarily by the parafollicular cells (also known as C-cells) of the thyroid, it regulates calcium levels in the body
What hormone does the thyroid gland secrete?
Mainly thyroxine, though it also secretes triiodothyronine (better call it T3, it's easier to spell) and calcitonin.
What gland produces calcitonin?
Parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland produce calcitonin.
The thyroid gland secreted what hormone?
Mainly thyroxine, though it also secretes triiodothyronine (better call it T3, it's easier to spell) and calcitonin.
Is calcitonin a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that lowers calcium levels in the body?
No. Thyroid Gland.Calcitonin normally acts to restrain excessive bone loss during Pegnancy and lactation.
Which endocrine glands secrete a hormone in response to hypocalcemia?
thyroid gland secretes calcitonin which stimulates cell uptake by bones thus decreasing the blood calcium level
What endocrine gland is found in the calcitonin?
Thyroid gland
What hormones are produced by the thyroid gland?
The main hormone produced here is thyroxine, which controls metabolism in our cells.
