Question

All are the function of PTH except ______________________.

• A. PTH simulates bone reabsorption /dilution /demineralization
• B. PTH retards osteoclastic action
• C. PTH increases $C{a}^{+2}$ abosorption from the digestive tube
• D. PTH stimulates reabsorption of $C{a}^{+2}$ by the renal tubules

Answer 1

The correct option is A PTH simulates bone reabsorption /dilution /demineralization

The hormone released by the parathyroid glands is called the parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is also called parathyrin. This hormone is involved in the formation or mineralization of bones. It is released when the levels of calcium ions in the blood serum decreases.

Hence, the correct answer is 'PTH simulates bone reabsorption /dilution /demineralization'.
