Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Parathyroid and calcitonin are responsible hormones for the increased/decreased level of `Ca^ (++)`.
Parathyroid increase `Ca^ (++)` in the blood which affects the bone and stimulates bone reabsorption.
PTH stimulates reabsorption of `Ca^ (++)` by renal tubules and increase absorption of `Ca^ (++)` from digested food. Calcitonin is produced from peripheral cells of thyroid gland. It reduces `Ca^ (++)` level in the flood and produces antagonistic effect of PTH.
