Calcitonin is the other major hormone involved with calcium regulation. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), produced by the parathyroid gland, increases the level of calcium in the blo â¦ od. It usually accomplishes this by increasing the resorption rate (taking back) from bone.Calcitonin does the exact opposite and reduces calcium in the blood.arathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin regulate blood calcium levels. PTH increases the calcium concentration in the blood, and calcitonin decreases it. 2 people found this useful. Edit.
The Earth bulges slightly at the Equator; the average diameter of the Earth is 12,750 kilometres (7,922 mi), but the diameter at the Equator is about 43 kilometres (27 mi) greater than at the poles.
Earth is classified as the largest of the terrestrial planets based on its circumference and diameter as well. At the equator, Earth's circumference is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km). It is slightly smaller between the North and South poles at 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km). Earth's diameter at the poles is 7,899.80 miles (12,713.5 km) while it is 7,926.28 miles (12,756.1 km) at the equator. For comparison, the largest planet in Earth's solar system, Jupiter, has a diameter of 88,846 miles (142,984 km).
