Question

Who controls the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) -Provides powerful mechanism for controlling extracellular calcium and phosphate concentrations by regulating intestinal reabsorption, renal excretion and exchange between the extracellular fluid and bone of the two ions Calcitonin (a peptide hormone secreted by the thyroid gland) -Tends to decrease plasma calcium concentration -In general, has effects opposite to those of PTH (quantitative role is far less than that of PTH in regulating Ca ion concentration)
