The reasons for the demise of the Minoan civilization continue to be debated. The rise of the Mycenaean civilization in the mid-2nd millennium BC on the Greek mainland and the evidence of their cultural influence on Minoan art and trade make them the most likely cause.
The hormone produced by the para follicular cells of the thyroid gland is calcitonin (CT). CT can decrease the level of calcium in the blood by.
Parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) is a peptide hormone produced by the parathyroid glands. It binds to receptors in the bone and kidney. A decrease in serum calcium concentration and an increase in serum phosphorous concentration stimulate PTH secretion.PTH also:alcitonin is a peptide hormone produced by cells within the thyroid gland. Calcitonin secretion is stimulated by high blood calcium concentrations, and it acts as a physiologic antagonist to PTH. Osteoclasts have receptors for calcitonin, but the effects are transient.
