Given below are two statements: Statement I: Parathyroid hormone acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption. Statement II: Parathyroid hormone along with Thyrocalcitonin plays a significant role in carbohydrate metabolism. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
Statement I is correct but Statement II is false
B
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true
C
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
D
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Detailed Solution
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) does act on bones to stimulate bone resorption, increasing blood calcium levels (Statement I is true). PTH and thyrocalcitonin together play a significant role in calcium metabolism (regulating blood calcium levels), not carbohydrate metabolism — so Statement II is false.
