Question

Which of the following is UNLIKELY to affect bone remodeling?A. parathyroid B. hormone low blood C. Ca2+ concentrationD. mechanical stressE. glucagon

Answer 1

Answer:

E. glucagon

Explanation:

Bone remodeling is a natural process that takes place in the human body continuously. The process destructs the old and mature portion of the bones and replaces it with the formation of new bones.

The process of bone remodeling is controlled by the hormones and the mechanical stress the bone faces.  The hormone which controls the process is the parathyroid hormone and the calcium which is required during the process of synthesis of bones. The factor which is not involved in the process is glucagon.

Thus, glucagon concentration does not affect bone remodeling.
