Question:
Select the correct answer. Under the influenced of PTH, the kidney:
a. increases calcium reabsorption.
b. decreases phosphate excretion.
c. upregulates 1 alpha hydrolase.
d. all of the above.
Loss of Calcium from Bones
The bones are subjected to degradation in specific cells so that calcium can be released inside the system. Calcium homeostasis is important for the body for major muscle activity. Bone calcium level is reduced because of the lower calcium level in blood. This is how a specific level of calcium can be maintained. The loss of calcium occurs only when the body requires it which may also reduce the density of the bone.

Parathyroid Gland: Calcium Metabolism, Osteoclasts & PTH
from
Chapter 12 / Lesson 6
15K
Parathyroid glands are endocrine glands on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. Parathyroid glands play a vital role in regulating the minerals calcium and phosphorous in the body. Learn about the structure of parathyroid glands, and the role these glands play in regulating calcium, phosphorus, osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the body.
