If your kidneys are secreting Ca++, it means that there is a higher permeability of calcium ions in your DCTs in response to: renin produced by the kidneys calcitonin produced by the thyroid gland PTH produced by the parathyroid glands aldosterone produced by the adrenal glands

Increase in blood Ca2+ stimulates __________ secretion, which leads to __________. growth hormone; increased osteoblast activity parathyroid hormone; increased osteoclast activity Thyroid hormone; less urinary calcium excretion calcitriol; more urinary phosphate excretion calcitonin; more calcium reabsorption

My question is: The following statements are TRUE regarding calcium homeostasis, EXCEPT: Select one: a. Osteoclast activity is inhibited in hypercalcemia. b. Calcitonin is released by the parathyroid gland in hypercalcemia. c. Parathyroid hormone is released to increase the calcium absorption in the small intestines. d. Decreased calcium reabsorption in the kidney in hypercalcemia. e. Increase vitamin D synthesis in hypocalcemia.
