Answer:
- TCT or thyrocalcitonin is secreted by thyroid gland. It regulates the blood calcium level. It is actually hypocalcemic, which means that it reduces blood calcium and encourages calcium uptake by cells instead.
- Its antagonistic hormone is PTH or parathyroid hormone, secreted by the four parathyroid glands at the back of the thyroid gland.
- TCT and PTH are both protein hormones.
- PTH increases blood calcium and inhibits calcium uptake by cells. It is hypercalcemic. Therefore (d) is incorrect.
