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.
