The parathyroid glands control calcium regulation, which is the amount of calcium that is in the blood and within the bones. An over production of the parathyroid hormone, known as hyperparathyroidism, can weaken bones, produce kidney stones, and other ailments.

Is characterized by abnormally high concentrations of calcium circulating in the blood instead of being stored in the bones?
hypercalcemia
Is calcium carbonite bad?
In humans, calcium carbonate is only harmful if ingested in abnormally large quantities.
What is the medical term meaning abnormally large amounts of calcium in the urine?
hypercalciuria
How many grams of calcium is in human body?
There are roughly 1000 grams of calcium in the human body. 99% (990 grams) of this calcium is stored in human bone (reservoir for calcium in the body). The remaining 10 grams is circulating in the blood (about 5 grams bound to protein and 5 grams circulating freely).
What happens if the blood has an abnormally high level of calcium?
This can cause kidney damage due to your body not being able to handle the high levels OF calcium
What is the normal direction of calcium transport via the calcium pump?
out of the cell, against the concentration gradient.The calcium pump moves calcium ions out of the cell - from the cytoplasm to the extracellular fluid. Because the calcium concentration is much higher outside the cell compared to the inside, this transport is against the calcium concentration gradient. Inside calcium concentrations often increase in response to hormones and nerve input. Calcium pumps are important in terminating these responses by returning calcium concentrations to resting levels.
What is the medical term meaning high calcium?
Hypocalcemia is the condition resulting from abnormally low levels of calcium in the blood.
What pH is calcium carbonate mixed wth hydrochloric acid?
Calcium carbonate is a base and hydrochloric acid is an acid but their combined pH depends on ther initial concentrations.
What sort of Ca2 concentrations are maintained by the calcium pump?
The Ca2+ concentration is higher in the extracellular fluid than in the cytoplasm.
Mineral that is higher concentrations in hard water than in soft water?
Mg2+ and Ca2+
What is water containing high concentrations of calcium magnesium or iron called?
Such water is called "Hard".
Removal of the parathyroid glands lead to tetany?
The parathyroid is responsible for calcium metabolism. Without the parathyroid, there is decreased calcium circulating in the blood, which leads muscles to be hyperexcitable, which leads to spams and tremors.
