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.

Increased synthetic activity of the parathyroid glands would lead to: A) an increase in renal calcium reabsorption. (B) a decrease in the rate of bone resorption. (C) a decrease in basal metabolic rate. (D) a decrease in blood glucose concentration.
