The hormone which increases the reabsorption of calcium ions in nephron is:
Correct answer: B. Parathormone
- A. Aldosterone
- B. Parathormone
- C. Anti-diuretic
- D. Vasopressin
Explanation
Parathormone is produced by the parathyroid glands and is responsible for regulating calcium levels in the blood. It acts on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of calcium ions in the nephron, thus increasing blood calcium levels.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
