check answer
thats incorrect.

Explanation:

Calcitonin is a hormone that inhibits osteoclasts, increases bone deposition, causes kidneys to excrete calcium, and its levels increase in pregnant women. It does not cause less calcitriol to be secreted. Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D and its secretion is regulated by parathyroid - hormone and other factors, not directly by calcitonin.
