B) Parathyroid hormone is the primary hormone responsible for maintaining calcium homeostasis.
C) Calcitonin is not essential for routine maintenance of calcium concentration in mammals.
D) Calcium is required for normal blood clotting.

Accepted Answer

All the statements provided are true. Calcium can indeed be stored in the body in bones, whereas sodium storage is not in a similar manner. Parathyroid hormone plays a key role in calcium homeostasis. Calcitonin, while involved in calcium regulation, is not considered essential for routine calcium concentration maintenance in mammals. Lastly, calcium is crucial for the blood clotting process.
