Explanation / Answer

In Low blood calcium In High blood calcium doesn't occur Increased production of PTH stimulates activation of vitamin D Less calcium is reabsorbed by kidneys increased vitamin D activation leads to decreased calcium absorption from intestine Parathyroid glands increase secretion of PTH Parathyroid glands decrease secretion of PTH PTH and vitamin D stimulate increased break down of bone.
