The correct Answer is:
To determine which option does not regulate calcium levels, let's analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Calcium Regulation**: Calcium levels in the body are regulated by various hormones, which include vitamin D, calcitonin, and parathyroid hormone (often referred to as collipse hormone). 2. **Option A: Vitamin D**: - Vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism. It facilitates the absorption of calcium from the small intestine into the bloodstream. - Therefore, vitamin D does regulate calcium levels. 3. **Option B: Thyroxin**: - Thyroxin is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Its primary functions include regulating metabolism and body temperature. - Thyroxin does not have a direct role in regulating calcium levels in the blood. - Thus, thyroxin is a candidate for the answer. 4. **Option C: Calcitonin**: - Calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland that helps lower blood calcium levels by inhibiting osteoclast activity (cells that break down bone). - Therefore, calcitonin does regulate calcium levels. 5. **Option D: Collipse Hormone (Parathyroid Hormone)**: - Collipse hormone, also known as parathyroid hormone (PTH), increases blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoclasts, promoting calcium reabsorption in the kidneys, and enhancing intestinal absorption of calcium. - Hence, this hormone also regulates calcium levels. 6. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the options, we find that the only hormone that does not regulate calcium levels is **thyroxin**. - Therefore, the correct answer is **Option B: Thyroxin**. ### Final Answer: **Option B: Thyroxin**
