Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parathyroid glands are the primary regulators of blood calcium levels. They secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH) which increases blood calcium levels by stimulating bone resorption and increasing absorption of calcium from the intestines and kidneys.

Additional information:
- The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism.
- The pancreas produces insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels.
- The pituitary gland (hypophysis) produces hormones that regulate many functions, including growth and reproduction.
- The adrenal medulla produces adrenaline and noradrenaline in response to stress.
