Because Thomas took high doses of vitamin D, the calcium levels in his body increased. Which endocrine glands will help maintain homeostasis by regulating the increased calcium levels?

Respuesta :

parathyroid is correct

Answer:

Parathyroid

Explanation:

Parathyroid is a gland responsible for parathyroid hormone, which is the hormone responsible for binding to membrane receptors in target cells (bones, kidneys and intestines) and acting by stimulating calcium uptake into the extracellular environment, increasing serum concentration. calcium and decreasing phosphate. In addition to performing this function, this hormone regulates the expression of vitamin D receptors and the ionic transport of calcium, phosphate and other ions.

For this reason, we can say that the parathyroid is the endocrine gland that helps maintain homeostasis by regulating increased calcium levels.
