Question

Parathyroid hormone influences Ca²⁺ and PO₄⁻ by stimulating their resorption from bone and stimulating their reabsorption in the kidneys.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases blood calcium levels by stimulating the release of calcium from bone and increasing calcium reabsorption in the kidneys, but it decreases phosphate reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased phosphate excretion.
