Solution
The correct option is B Parathyroid
- Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is essential for the physiologic maintenance of mineral homeostasis.
- PTH regulates the mineral transport in bone and kidney and through its secondary actions on mineral transport in the intestine.
- Calcitonin, in many ways, acts as a physiologic antagonist to PTH. Hence, Parathyroid hormone is antagonistic to calcitonin
So, the correct answer is 'Parathyroid'.
