What does it mean when calcium hardness is low in a pool?
Low Calcium Hardness in pool water means that there is low calcium in the water and is considered "soft" and soft water tends to be corrosive. It will etch away and your plaster and any metal object the pool water touches.
What minerals have a cardiotoxic effect when their levels are to high or to low?
Potassium and calcium
What does low phosphate indicate?
it would be important to know what the calcium level is.
What type of bond does calcium is normally form?
Calcium usually forms ionic bonds due to low ionization potential value and metallic nature.
Is granite high in calcium iron and magnesium?
No. Granite is a felsic rock and so is low in those elements.
The hormone released in response to low blood calcium levels is?
Calcitonin
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 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.
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.
Decreased blood calcium levels would result in?
When blood calcium levels are low, it means that calcium is not being reabsorbed in the intestine or released from the bones. This could lead to uncontrollable twitching, known as a disorder called tetany, caused by low blood calcium levels.
What does potency mean?
potency is a measure of drug activity expressed in terms of the amount required to produce an effect of given intensity. A highly potent drug (e.g., morphine, alprazolam, chlorpromazine) evokes a larger response at low concentrations, while a drug of lower potency (ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid) evokes a small response at low concentrations. It is proportional to affinity and efficacy.
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.
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
Low levels of calcium in the blood directly stimulate?
calcitonin
What is the hallmark of an immune response?
low blood pressure
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.
