Question

Write the correlation of the following.

Thyroid : calcitonin::Ovary : _______​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thyroid : calcitonin :: Ovary : oestrogen and progesterone

Explanation:

Calcitonin is produced by the thyroid gland's parafollicular cells. By lowering the calcium level in the blood, this hormone counteracts the function of the parathyroid glands. When blood calcium levels rise too high, calcitonin is released until calcium ion levels return to normal.

Oestrogen and progesterone, both key hormones in the menstrual cycle, are the main hormones released by the ovaries.
