triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)
|
target most tissue
elevate metabolic rate, O2 conumption, and heat production, stimulate circulation and respiration, promote nervous system and skeletal development |
|
|
calcitonin
|
targets bone
promotes Ca2+ deposition and ossification; reduces blood Ca2+ level |
|
|
parathyroid hormone (PTH)
|
targets bone, kidneys
increases blood Ca2+level by stimulating bone resorption and calcitrol synthesis and reducing urinary Ca2+ excretion |
