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.
Explain how the cells of the immune system evoke and maintain an immune response?
Chuck Norris evokes and maintains an immune response.
Calcium absorption increases when the body's calcium status is low?
true.
Is calcium sulfate is a soluble substance?
Calcium sulfate has a very low solubility in water.
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
Low blood calcium evokes a response from?
Parathyroid hormone
The hormone released in response to low blood calcium levels is?
Calcitonin

What might someone do to evoke a sullen response?
Someone might evoke a sullen response by being dismissive or indifferent, ignoring the other person's feelings, or bringing up sensitive topics that upset them. Ignoring their efforts to communicate or engage can also lead to a sullen response.
Explain how the cells of the immune system evoke and maintain an immune response?
Chuck Norris evokes and maintains an immune response.
What is a parathyroid hormone test?
a blood test performed to determine the serum levels of a hormone secreted by the parathyroid gland in response to low blood calcium levels.
What happens when blood calcium is low?
When the blood calcium is low, the bones in the body release calcium to supplement it. This is a condition which is known as hypocalcemia.
Calcium absorption increases when the body's calcium status is low?
true.
What may cause a Combination of low calcium and low total protein and low globulin on a blood test?
Low globulin can be due to immune deficiency associated with decreased antibody production. This would also account for lower total protein (because globulin is a protein), however it would not account for the low calcium level. Calcium is bound to protein in the blood, so low protein can be associated with a spruriously low calcium (i.e. a calcium number that is low without actual calcium deficiency). This may be the case if the albumin (another protein) is low, and there is a formula to correct calcium for low albumin, where: Corrected Calcium = (0.8 * (Normal Albumin - Pt's Albumin)) + Serum Ca Alternatively, an ionized calcium level can be checked and will be normal if the serum calcium was only low due to low albumin. Without knowing the clinical context (which would be very helpful), the most likely single explanation for low globulin, low total protein, and low serum calcium is protein nutritional deficiency. In this case, the body is overall protein deficient and so it is not uncommon to find a decrease in all protein levels (especially if severe). In this case, the low serum calcium is due to low albumin, as above. This can be further explored by checking a pre-albumin level (typically low if protein deficiency due to poor diet). You should talk to the physician who orderd the tests for a better answer, as only he or she knows why the tests were ordered and can interpret them in the appropriate clinical context.
Is calcium sulfate is a soluble substance?
Calcium sulfate has a very low solubility in water.
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 the?
bone
Is calcium phosphate soluble?
No, calcium phosphate is insoluble. This is why calcium levels are kept low inside the cytoplasm (eukaryotic cells).
