Answer:

Parathyroid hormone enhances release of calcium from bone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is produced by the parathyroid glands. The function of these hormones is to increase the levels of Ca²⁺ in blood when they are low. To increase the calcium in blood the parathyroid hormone enhances the release of calcium from the bone in a process called osteolysis.
