Regulation of PTH and Calcitonin Secretion (With Diagram)
In this article we will discuss about the regulation of PTH and calcitonin secretion. Decrease in plasma calcium level increases PTH secretion and when plasma calcium level increases, there will be increased secretion of calcitonin. (Fig. 6.52) Apart from the plasma calcium level, some of the other factors which can affect the secretion of PTH are: i. Decreased plasma magnesium [...]
