Reorder the following ... from calcium being TOO LOW and then TOO HIGH!

• PARATHYROID HORMONE IS SECRETED WHICH CAUSES OSTEOCLASTS TO BREAK DOWN BONE AND RELEASE CA2+!

• PARATHYROID HORMONE ALSO CAUSES MORE CA2+ to be absorbed from the intestines!

• THYROID GLAND RELEASES CALCITONIN WHICH CAUSES OSTEOBLASTS TO DEPOSIT CALCIUM IN THE BONE!
