Answer:

1. helps decrease blood calcium

2. more effective in children than adults

3. inhibits osteoclast activity

Explanation:

Calcitonin is the hormone secreted in response to increased blood calcium level. It serves to reduce the blood calcium level by inhibition of osteoclasts to prevent bone resorption. Calcitonin also reduces the blood calcium level by increasing the loss of calcium into the urine.

The hormone calcitonin suppresses the tubular reabsorption of calcium in kidneys and allows more calcium to be excreted into the urine. The activity of this hormone is more in children to inhibit bone resorption.

The answer is;

helps decrease blood calcium

inhibits osteoclast activity

Osteoblast activity is inhibited so that calcium resorption from the bone is repressed.<span> Calcitonin also signals the kidneys to reduce the reabsorption of calcium ions from urine hence increase its loss from the blood. </span>

The subsections of a myofibril that perform muscle contraction are called
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

The sarcomere is the smallest contractile unit of muscle. It extends from one Z disc to the next and therefore, is the region between two consecutive Z discs. It contains an A band flanked by half an I band at each end. Contraction of a muscle fiber occurs as the sarcomeres within the myofibrils shorten. During the shortening of the sarcomere, the thin actin filaments slide past the thick myosin filaments and approach one another. The resultant shortening of the I band and complete disappearance of H zone cause contraction of muscle fiber.
