How is the blood calcium level maintained in the body

Asked by admin @ in Biology viewed by 266 People

Calcium levels in the body are maintained by hormones. If the blood calcium level rises above a set point, calcitonin is secreted by the thyroid gland and sets into motion responses to lower the blood calcium back to the set point. If the blood calcium level falls below a set point, the parathyroid gland secretes parathyroid hormone that sets into motion responses to raise the blood calcium. These homeostatic responses are examples of

a. positive feedback
b. effectors
c. sensors
d. negative feedback

Answer:

positive feedback

Explanation:Because when you get motion that means its positive but if doesn't feel motion than that is negative.
