All of the choices have been shown to affect osteoblast and osteoclast activity. Gravity and mechanical stress stimulate bone formation, while lack of these forces can lead to bone loss. Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone levels help regulate calcium levels and bone turnover, with calcitonin inhibiting osteoclast activity and parathyroid hormone stimulating osteoclast activity. Blood calcium level also plays a role in bone remodeling, as a decrease in blood calcium can stimulate osteoclast activity to release calcium from bone.
