If blood calcium levels drop, the parathyroid gland releases the
hormone called ____________ . This hormone has multiple
effects.
(1) The hormone stimulates bone cells to break down bone tissue
and ____________ calcium ion into the
blood.
(2) The hormone stimulates
the ____________ to conserve calcium ions,
preventing their excretion, and to activate
vitamin ____________ which increases calcium
uptake from the diet.
(3) The hormone increases
the ____________ of calcium from the
intestines.
The result of the these hormonal effects is
to ____________ blood calcium levels.
