Imagine that you are able to monitor specific cell activity in the body. If you detected a dramatic decrease in osteoclast activity, which of the following characteristics would also be detectable?

A) Increased calcitonin levels in the blood
B) Increased PTH levels in the blood
C) Decreased calcitonin levels in the blood
D) Decreased PTH levels in the blood

Osteoclast Activity

The resorption process of bone tissue by osteoclast cells, which is vital for the growth, repair, and remodeling of bones.

Calcitonin Levels

The concentration of calcitonin hormone in the blood, important in regulating blood calcium levels by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts.

PTH Levels

The concentration of parathyroid hormone in the blood, which is crucial in regulating calcium levels.
