Question

what is the answer?

Blood Ca²+_homeostasis is mainly controlled by two hormones. If Ca²+ levels are too
high...Calcitonin is secreted by C-cells of the thyroid gland and lowers blood Ca²+ by
increasing Ca²+ deposition into the bone.
If Ca²+ levels are too low...PTH is secreted by the parathyroid gland which triggers
release Ca²+ from the bone into the blood
You determine a patient has unusually High Ca2+; High Calcitonin; High PTH
The patient is probably suffering from
(Note: try to apply what we have learned about blood glucose control)
Group of answer choices
1. A tumor of the thyroid
2. Destruction of the thyroid
3. Tumor of the parathyroid
4. Destruction of the parathyroid
