Q. Significant role of calcium balance in the body is maintained by

A) PTH and FSH
B) PTH and TCT
C) TCT and FSH
D) TCT and GH
Explanation

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) increases the $Ca^{2 +}$ in the blood. PTH acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption (dissolution/demineralisation). PTH also stimulates the reabsorption of $Ca^{2 +}$ by the renal tubules and increases $Ca^{2 +}$ absorption from the digested food. It is thus clear that PTH is hypercalcemic hormone, i.e., it increases the blood $Ca^{2 +}$ level. Along with TCT, it plays a significant role in calcium balance in the body
