A diet deficient in calcium will result in_____________?
Correct answer: A. Production of parathyroid hormone and bone resorption
- A. Production of parathyroid hormone and bone resorption
- B. Increased ability to cross - link fibrin
- C. Production of Calcitonin and a low blood calcium level
- D. Stimulation of the thyroid gland
Explanation
Low dietary calcium reduces plasma calcium and stimulates parathyroid hormone secretion. PTH restores calcium partly by increasing bone resorption, whereas calcitonin is released when calcium is high.
