Answer: 3. (b), (d) and (e) only Key idea: PTH raises blood mathrmCa²⁺ . (a) Stimulates bone resorption: true effect. (b) Decreases blood mathrmCa²⁺ : not an effect (it increases it). (c) Increases reabsorption of mathrmCa²⁺ in renal tubules: true effect. (d) Decreases absorption of mathrmCa²⁺ from food: not an effect (PTH increases it, via vitamin D). (e) Increases carbohydrate metabolism: not a PTH effect. Not effects: (b), (d), (e).

Answer: 3. (b), (d) and (e) only

Key idea: PTH raises blood \(\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}\).

(a) Stimulates bone resorption: true effect.
(b) Decreases blood \(\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}\): not an effect (it increases it).
(c) Increases reabsorption of \(\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}\) in renal tubules: true effect.
(d) Decreases absorption of \(\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}\) from food: not an effect (PTH increases it, via vitamin D).
(e) Increases carbohydrate metabolism: not a PTH effect.

Not effects: (b), (d), (e).
