Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hormone that regulates calcium levels in the body is parathyroid hormone (PTH). The target organs of PTH are the bones, kidneys, and intestine. PTH stimulates the release of calcium from bones, promotes reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys, and activates vitamin D to increase calcium absorption in the intestine. T₃ and T₄ are thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism, ACTH is a hormone that stimulates the adrenal cortex, and oxytocin is a hormone that regulates uterus contractions and milk ejection. None of these hormones are involved in calcium regulation.
