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.

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>

How do waves interact with different materials?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Waves interact with matter in several ways. The interactions occur when waves pass from one medium to another. Besides bouncing back like an echo, waves may bend or spread out when they strike a new medium. These three ways that waves may interact with matter are called reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
