Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parathyroid gland is responsible for regulating calcium levels in the blood. If there is a problem with the parathyroid gland, it can lead to difficulty with calcium regulation. The adrenal gland is responsible for producing hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, the pituitary gland regulates various hormones in the body, and the thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism. While all of these glands are important and play a role in overall health, they are not specifically related to calcium regulation like the parathyroid gland.
