Thank you!!

When it comes to calcium balance, the priority of the body is: To excrete about two-thirds of daily calcium intake through sweat To absorb 100 percent of the calclum the diet provides To maintain blood calclum levels.even at the expense of bone To maintain bone calcium levels, even at the expense of blood levels

Answer 1

In my opinion it is important to maintain blood calcium level, even at expense of bone , as the imbalance of calcium levels in blood leads to hypocalcemia generating the adverse effects on circulatory, nervous, muscular as well as bone functioning. On the other hand hypercalcaemia lethargy, constipation, confusion and severe cases of coma.

Hence Option C is correct.
