What happens if too much calcium is deposited in the bone?
Too much calcium makes the bones brittle.
What medical term means abnormally low concentration of calcium in the blood?
Calcium is important for healthy bone and tooth. But excessive presence of calcium in blood may cause some problems, such as tiredness, loss of appetite, vomiting.etc. It may also cause diarrhea leading to dehydration and thirst. Sometime with high calcium in blood may cause confusion and a person may become unconscious. High calcium level in blood may indicate excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone which should be treated. High calcium in blood also indicate bone disease. Excessive drinking of milk and frequent intake of antacids can increase calcium level in blood.
When a person's diet is too low in calcium the blood levels of calcium will remain constant because the body will get calcium from?
bone
What is the function of parathyroid hormone?
PTH is secreted by the parathyroid glands (which are attached to your thyroid) and acts on bone (via increased bone resorption) , the kidneys (via increased reabsorption of calcium) and the intestine (increased calcium absorption by increased levels of activated vitamin D) to increase blood calcium levels.
Where do calcitonin and parathyroid hormones come from?
Calcitonin is released from thyroid gland in response to hypercalemia. On the other hand, parathyroid hormone- as you guessed - is from parathyroid gland in response to low levels of blood calcium. Which will cause calcium to be released from bone into blood to compensate.
What hormone causes calcium to be deposited in bone?
calcitonin and PTH
What happens if too much calcium is deposited in the bone?
Too much calcium makes the bones brittle.
What vascular calcification in the foot mean?
Calcification means calcium is being deposited somewhere. Vascular calcification means there are deposits of calcium in the blood vessels. This turns the vessels hard like bone.
What substance from the blood makes bone hard?
The strength and rigidity of the bone is a result of the inorganic salts deposited in the matrix. Matrix is basically just large amount of non-cellular materials, which is what your bones are made of.
What substances do bone cells take from the blood to keep the bone hard?
it takes calcium! it takes calcium!
Which bone cells cause calcium resorption from the bone?
Osteoclasts

When there is too little calcium in the blood which cells begin resorption of bone to release calcium to the blood?
Osteoclast
Does calcitonin cause a decrease in blood calcium ion levels?
The hormone Calcitonin has the effect of reducing blood calcium levels. The hormone comes from the thyroid gland and works in basically three ways. 1. It works to slow absorption of calcium by the intestine. 2. It also inhibits the osteoclast (cells in bone that break down old bone tissue) that raise blood calcium levels. 3. It causes osteoblast (cells in bone that lay down new bone matrix) to form new bone. This explanation is at it's simplest form of course.
How does calcitonin and parathroid hormones work to control blood calcium levels and what are their targets?
Calcitonin is the other major hormone involved with calcium regulation. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), produced by the parathyroid gland, increases the level of calcium in the blood. It usually accomplishes this by increasing the resorption rate (taking back) from bone. Calcitonin does the exact opposite and reduces calcium in the blood. Calcitonin is produce in the thyroid gland and removes calcium in the blood primarily by putting calcium back into bone.
Bone cells that liquefy bone matrix and release calcium to the blood?
Osteoclasts
What does an osteoblast do in a bone cell?
They build bone matter using Calcium in the blood.
