Question

When released, parathyroid hormone calcium ion concentrations to remain stable in the plasma by increasing calcium absorption by increasing calcium absorption in the intestines, by using osteoclasts to remove calcium from bones, and by conserving calcium in the kidneys.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Parathyroid hormone or the PTH released from the parathyroid gland present on the thyroid gland. PTH is also known as parathyrine which is essential in the regulation of blood calcium by its different effects on bone, kidney, and intestine.

PTH increased calcium absorption in the intestine when secreted. It also removes calcium from the bones by the activity of osteoclast. The effect of PTH hormone in the kidney is that it conserves calcium ions.

Thus, the correct answer is true.
