Answer 2

The decline is because :

Explanation:

• The posterior surface of the thyroid gland's lateral lobe is attached to another gland called the Parathyroid gland.
• The parathyroid gland produce a hormone called the Parathyroid hormone (PTH).
• This hormone is responsible for maintaining the calcium level in the body.
• It regulates the amount of calcium that needs to be stored as calcium phosphate in the bones and the amount of calcium that needs to be excreted through the kidney.
• It also induces the production of Vitamin D in the active form. The absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestine is induced by Vitamin D.
• During the surgery, the removal of the thyroid gland might have been accompanied by the removal of the parathyroid gland, hence no pathayroid hormone will be produced by the body.
• The absence of parathyroid hormone disturbs the calcium homeostasis  in the body causing decline in calcium level in Julie's blood.
