Increase levels of PTH would increase the activity of ___________ and would _________ blood calcium levels.

Endocrine glands__________.

secrete chemical messengers that travel in the bloodstream

You look at a slide of tissue from the small intestines. You notice that the small intestines have small projections called villi that increase surface area and each villi has a network of blood vessels (capillary) within it. You surmise that his is likely an area of nutrient absorption because increased surface area and blood supply will help increase the amount of nutrient absorbed. This is an example of:

structure informing function

When blood calcium levels are low, PTH stimulates .

the activity of osteoclasts
