Respuesta :

In humans, the effect of the hormone calcitonin is to temporarily decrease blood calcium levels when administered in large doses.
This hormone is produced and released by the C-cells of the thyroid gland and participates in calcium and phosphorus metabolism.
Calcitonin lowers the levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood and promotes the formation of bone.
