Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parathyroid hormone is the hormone that raises blood calcium levels by stimulating the release of calcium from bones, increasing calcium reabsorption in the kidneys, and indirectly promoting calcium absorption in the intestines.

Answer: I
 Thyroxine is a thyroid hormone responsible for regulating numerous metabolic processes, including bone metabolism. High levels of thyroxine can lead to increased bone resorption and potentially elevate blood calcium levels.

Answer: H
 Testosterone is a sex hormone that can stimulate bone growth and development, but it does not have a direct effect on blood calcium levels.

Therefore, the best choices for hormones that raise blood calcium are J (parathyroid hormone) and I (thyroxine).
