13.

The body uses __________ ___________ as a reservoir for, and source of calcium , to maintain constant concentrations of calcium in blood, muscle, and intercellular fluids

(a)  

14.

When there is an increase in calcium level the (a)   gland is activated and releases calcitonin that stimulates calcium deposition in bones and reduces calcium uptake in kidneys that brings calcium level back to set point.
