What happens when blood calcium levels keep on increasing?
The calcium is released from bones and absorbed by the kidneys and the intestines, then the blood calcium level increases.
What may occur if calcitonin is hypersecreted?
Low blood calcium. Calcitonin decreases blood calcium therefore it would result in an even lower amount of calcium.
Low levels of calcium in the blood directly stimulate?
calcitonin
Low blood calcium evokes a response from?
Parathyroid hormone
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
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
A hormone secreted by the parathyroid that raises blood calcium?
The parathyroid glands are responsible for monitoring the calcium level in the blood. When the calcium level is too low, the parathyroids produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) to increase the calcium level in our blood.
When a person body is too low in calcium the blood levels of calcium remain constant because the body gets calcium from the?
bone
How does the thyroid gland effect calcium regulation?
"The amount of calcium in the blood is regulated by two organs: thyroid and parathyroid glands. Each gland produces hormones by sensing the amount of calcium in the blood. When calcium is high in the blood, the thyroid gland produces calcitonin, which results in the removal of excess calcium from the blood. When calcium is low in the blood, the parathyroid gland produces parathyroid hormone, which causes the release of calcium from bone into the blood."
The hormone released in response to low blood calcium levels is?
Calcitonin
What is the medical term meaning high calcium?
Hypocalcemia is the condition resulting from abnormally low levels of calcium in the blood.
