*Practice problem
The model shown in the figure represents the role of two hormones,
calcitonin and parathyroid hormone (PTH), in maintaining normal blood
calcium levels in humans. If a dietary change results in an increase in blood
calcium concentration above normal levels, which of the following is the
most likely effect on calcium homeostasis?*

• Decreased Calcium
Excretion
Calcitonin levels will decrease, thus stimulating the release of PTH.
Calcitonin levels will increase, thus promoting the deposit of calcium into bones.
PTH levels will decrease, thus stimulating the loss of calcium from bones.
O PTH levels will increase, thus preventing the release of calcitonin.
