Quiz: Overview of Disorders of Calcium Concentration
Question 1 of 2  

PTH and vitamin D both function as important regulators of bone growth and bone remodeling. PTH increases serum calcium by stimulating conversion of vitamin D to its most active form, calcitriol. This form of vitamin D increases the percentage of dietary calcium absorbed by the intestine. Despite increased calcium absorption, long-term increases in PTH secretion generally result in which of the following? 

  • A.

    Decreased renal phosphate losses

  • B.

    Inhibition of vitamin D conversion to calcitriol

  • C.

    Promotion of osteoclastic activity

  • D.

    Promotion of osteoblastic function

Am I correct?
