The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question:** The question asks for the hormone that decreases calcium levels in the blood. 2. **Review Hormones Related to Calcium Regulation:** - **Thyroxine (T4):** Released from the thyroid gland, it primarily regulates the basal metabolic rate and red blood cell formation but does not decrease calcium levels. - **Parathyroid Hormone (PTH):** Secreted by the parathyroid glands, it increases calcium levels in the blood, so it is not the correct answer. - **Thyrocalcitonin (Calcitonin):** This hormone is released from the thyroid gland and is specifically responsible for decreasing calcium levels in the blood. - **Cortisol:** Released from the adrenal glands, it primarily regulates glucose levels and does not affect calcium levels. 3. **Conclusion:** The hormone that decreases calcium levels in the blood is **Thyrocalcitonin (Calcitonin)**. **Final Answer:** Thyrocalcitonin (Calcitonin) ---
