No,it does not produce.Thyroid produces hormone Calcitonin.

No, the parathyroid gland secretes parathyroid hormone (PTH), not calcitonin. PTH helps regulate calcium levels in the blood by stimulating the release of calcium from bones and increasing calcium absorption in the intestines and kidneys. Calcitonin is produced by the thyroid gland and helps regulate calcium levels by decreasing calcium release from bones.

What gland is the source of parathyroid and calcintonin?
The parathyroid gland is the source of parathyroid hormone, while the thyroid gland is the source of calcitonin.
How will you differentiate thyroid and parathyroid glands in terms of location and function?
Thyroid gland secretes/ makes calcitonin. Parathyroid gland maintains calcium (and phosphate) balance with calcitonin. Sounds weird but that's what it does.
Where do calcitonin and parathyroid hormones come from?
Calcitonin is released from thyroid gland in response to hypercalemia. On the other hand, parathyroid hormone- as you guessed - is from parathyroid gland in response to low levels of blood calcium. Which will cause calcium to be released from bone into blood to compensate.
What is the secretary cell of parathyroid gland?
The secrotory cells of the parathyroid gland have the ability release chemicals, for example, the chief cells which secretes the parathyroid hormone.
What role do calcium play in homeostasis?
Three hormones: parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol (the active from of Vitamin D). These three hormones act on bone, the kidneys and the small intestine to keep calcium balance in you r body.
What gland is the source of parathyroid and calcintonin?
The parathyroid gland is the source of parathyroid hormone, while the thyroid gland is the source of calcitonin.

Gland that secretes calcitonin?
The thyroid gland secretes both of these. Thyroxine or T4 is the most prevalent secretion of the thyroid - it is the inactive form of tri-iodothyronine (T3) which is important for regulation of metabolism. T3 and T4 are secreted by the follicular cells. Calcitonin is secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland and acts to decrease blood calcium levels.
What does the thyroid gland secrete?
The Thyroid Gland secretes Calcitonin.
What gland secretes Parathyroid hormone?
thyroid gland
Where do calcitonin and parathyroid hormones come from?

Two endocrine glands responsible for the maintenance of serum calcuim?
The parathyroid glands and the thyroid gland are responsible for the maintenance of serum calcium levels. The parathyroid gland secretes parathyroid hormone (PTH), which increases serum calcium levels by stimulating calcium release from bones and increasing calcium absorption in the intestines. The thyroid gland secretes calcitonin, which helps regulate calcium levels by inhibiting the release of calcium from bones.
Which gland secretes parathormone?
Parathyroid chief cells secretes parathormone.
What is the secretary cell of parathyroid gland?
The secrotory cells of the parathyroid gland have the ability release chemicals, for example, the chief cells which secretes the parathyroid hormone.

What hormone regulates blood calcium levels?
Parathyroid glands secrete PTH (parathyroid hormone) to regulate blood calcium levels.
What cells in the parathyroid gland secretes Parathyroid hormone?
The parathyroid glands release the parathyroid hormone, also known as parathormone. The parathyroid glands are four tiny masses of gland tissue located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. Each gland is about the size of an apple seed.
