Summary Introduction

To review:

The actions of 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin on the intestine, skeletal system, and the kidneys along with their impacts on the blood calcium levels.

Introduction:

The thyroid and the parathyroid gland release various hormones that are involved in the regulation of the calcium level in the blood. Parathyroid hormone, 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3, and calcitonin have different actions of the intestine, skeletal system, and the kidneys. They regulate blood levels of calcium through different mechanisms.
