How does calcitonin affect calcium levels in the body? It inhibits osteoclasts and reduces bone resorption, stimulates osteoblasts to deposit calcium into bone, increases calcium absorption by the small intestine, reduces osteoblast activity, promotes osteoclasts and bone resorption, promotes calcium reabsorption by the kidneys, and lowers blood phosphate levels by promoting urinary excretion.

Which of the following would be a possible result if calcitonin suddenly was no longer produced? If more than one option is a possibility, select all that apply. A. Calcium levels within the blood would increase. B. Kidneys would reabsorb calcium from the blood stream. C. Bones would become depleted of their calcium stores. D. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) production would stop. E. Calcium would not be absorbed in the intestines.
