What is calcium build up in the body?
In order to lower your calcium levels in your body you can do a few things. Calcium is used by muscles in the human body so you can exercise and utilize some of the calcium which you have building up. You can also lower the amount of calcium you get per day and increase your fluids. Also talk to your DR. about meds that lower calcium levels such as loop diuretics, and corticosteroids.
Name a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland that acts to lower blood calcium?
Calcitonin is the hormone that lowers calcium levels.
What causes bones in the human body to become brittle?
Your bones can become brittle from lack of calcium. Calcium levels become low when you don't have many dairy or calcium rich products. Coke, Fanta or any other carbonated drinks are VERY bad for calcium levels and can lower them extremely.
What affect do phosphates have on serum calcium in the blood?
Oral phosphates can lower serum calcium levels, but the long-term use of this approach is not well understood.
How exactly do calcium reactors work?
A calcium reactor maintains the level of calcium and alkalinity inside the reef aquarium. The reactor itself is nothing more than a chamber, it holds some sort of calcium-based substrate which is insoluble at 7.9-8.3 water pH. However, the substrate dissolves in lower pH, which frees the calcium and alkaline ions.
Is the under secretion of this endocrine gland that will lead to low calcium levels in the blood?
lower blood calcuium is location ?behind the thyroid gland
Why does calcium burn orange?
When the electrons that are excited by the energy of burning drop back into lower energy levels they emit light at that orange wavelength.
What would cause depressed levels of calcium after a thyroidectomy?
The parathyroid glands are located behind the thyroid gland and are often accidentally removed with the thyroid in a thyroidectomy. The parathyroid gland makes parathyroid hormone (PTH), which normally causes an increase in blood calcium levels. If the parathyroid is lost, so is the PTH, and thus the blood calcium is lower.
Why would a freshwater aquarium be dangerous for saltwater fish?
The density and pressure of saltwater is different from freshwater as is much of the bacterias and parasites. The acidity of the water is also of concern as the lower the PH the higher the acidity of the water. Saltwater being of a higher PH would not handle the lower PH of freshwater very well. Also if moving a freshwater fish to saltwater that fish will lose a great amount of water in it's body causing death and if the saltwater fish is moved to freshwater it will gain great amounts of water causing death.
Can potassium in soda raise blood levels?
The potassium in soda actually causes blood potassium to drop which can lead to muscle problems and heart rhythm abnormalities. This may also lead to lower calcium levels in the blood and bones.
