When I was 13 years old in my 9th grade English class, we were assigned a theme: What I Want To Be When I Grow Up. From early on in life, all that I ever imagined I would be was an interior designer. So, that theme was easy for me.
PTH stands for parathyroid hormone. It is a protein hormone released by the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are located in the neck, near or attached to the back side of the thyroid gland.Parathyroid hormone controls calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the blood and bone.Release of PTH is controlled by the level of calcium in the blood.Low blood calcium levels cause increased PTH to be released, while high blood calcium levels block PTH release.t is a protein hormone released by the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are located in the neck, near or attached to the back side of the thyroid gland.
Calcitonin is released by the thyroid gland if the amount of calcium in the bloodstream is high. Calcitonin decreases the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. It does this by slowing the activity of cells found in bone, called osteoclasts.These cells cause calcium to be released as they 'clean' bone.owever, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin work together to control calcium levels in the blood. The blood calcium level is the main stimulus for the release of these hormones, as the release of these hormones is not controlled by the pituitary.
