Question

question 4 of 10
a person has too much calcium ion in their blood. what gland is most likely working incorrectly?
a. parathyroid
b. thymus
c. pineal
d. adrenals

Explanation:

The parathyroid gland regulates calcium levels. If it's malfunctioning, calcium ion levels in the blood can be affected. The thymus is related to immune - system development (T - cell maturation). The pineal gland is involved in circadian rhythms (melatonin production). The adrenal glands produce hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Since the problem is about calcium ion regulation, the parathyroid gland is the key.

Answer:

A. Parathyroid
