Detailed Solution

Thyroid hormones play an important role in the regulation of the basal metabolic rate. These hormones also support the process of red blood cell formation. Thyroid hormones control the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Maintenance of water and electrolyte balance is also influenced by thyroid hormones. 

thyrocalcitonin (TCT) regulates the blood calcium levels.

Bone resorption is stimulated by PTH secreted by the parathyroid glands.
