The hormones involved in maintaining calcium balance in the human body are
- A PTH and TCT
- B PTH and LTH
- C TCT and FSH
- D MSH and ACTH
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) PTH and TCT
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) PTH and TCT,
The parathyroid glands secrete a peptide hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH). The secretion of PTH is regulated by the circulating levels of calcium ions.PTH Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases the \(Ca ^{2+}\) levels in the blood. PTH acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption (dissolution/demineralisation). also stimulates reabsorption of \(Ca ^{2+}\) by the renal tubules and increases \(Ca ^{2+}\) absorption from the digested food. It is, thus, clear that PTH is a hypercalcemic hormone, i.e., it increases the blood \(Ca ^{2+}\) levels. Along with TCT, it plays a significant role in calcium balance in the body.
