Which two hormones play a role in the homeostasis of calcium levels in the blood? Parathyroid hormone (released by parathyroid, stimulate osteoclasts to breakdown bone matrix to release Ca in blood, also increase renal absorption of Ca from urine) and Calcitonin (released from thyroid, stimulate osteoblasts and inhibit osteoclasts)
