osteoblast activity would increase since calcitonin's role is to decrease blood calcium. there would be extra Ca in the blood for the osteoblast to pick up and utilize. Calcium homeostasis is very tightly regulated and continuous. All the things you learn about calcium homeostasis will be occurring at the same time so try not to get confused and look at the big picture AKA what will the end results be. Hope that helped!
What else can I help you with?
Does Calcitonin decreases osteoclast activity?
yes
What is the relationship between estrogen and osteoclast function and how that relates to esteoperosis?
estrogen decreases osteoclast(bone reduction remodeling) which decreases osteoporosis. promotes osteoblast activity in bone formation. keeping calcium in bones and keeping bone density/integrity.
What does the skeletal system deal with homeostasis?
Homeostasis is maintained by the hormones that increase osteoblast activity to build bone, called calcitonin which is released by the thyroid gland, and the release of parathyroid hormone which increases osteoclast activity and is released by the parathyroid glands. As long as both of these function normally, the bone mass stays the same, this is a homeostatic state of bone. If it goes out of balance you will either build too much bone, or loose bone mass and develop osteoporosis.
What is the purpose of hormone calcitonin function?
Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid linear polypeptide hormone that is produced in humans primarily by the parafollicular cells (also known as C-cells) of the thyroid, and in many other animals in the ultimobranchial body.[2] It acts to reduce bloodcalcium (Ca2+), opposing the effects ofparathyroid hormone (PTH).[3] It has been found in fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Its importance in humans has not been as well established as its importance in other animals, as its function is usually not significant to regulation of normal calcium homeostasis.[4]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcitonin
Parathyroid hormone functions to stimulate activity in?
Parathyroid hormone functions to stimulate activity in bone cells to release calcium into the bloodstream when blood calcium levels are low. This helps to maintain proper calcium levels in the body for normal nerve and muscle function.
What functions does an osteoclast perform in the human body?
The function of osteoclast in the body is to create and maintain bones. They are the joining of several cells created by bone marrow. They have 5 to 20 nuclei, but some may have up to 200 nuclei.
The hormone that has the opposite function of calcitonin is?
The hormone that has the opposite function of calcitonin is parathyroid hormone (PTH). While calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels by promoting its deposition in bones, PTH increases blood calcium levels by stimulating calcium release from bones, absorption in the intestines, and reabsorption in the kidneys.
What is the function of the thyriod?
The thyroid gland is made up of two lobes found in the neck. The function is the production of T3, T4 and calcitonin.
How will you differentiate thyroid and parathyroid glands in terms of location and function?
Thyroid gland secretes/ makes calcitonin. Parathyroid gland maintains calcium (and phosphate) balance with calcitonin. Sounds weird but that's what it does.
What does skeletal tissue need to function?
Skeletal tissue requires several key components to function effectively, including a healthy supply of nutrients, oxygen, and minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorus, to maintain its strength and integrity. It also relies on physical activity to stimulate bone remodeling and maintain density. Additionally, hormonal regulation, particularly by hormones like parathyroid hormone and calcitonin, is essential for calcium homeostasis and skeletal health. Finally, proper mechanical loading through exercise helps promote the adaptation and resilience of skeletal tissue.
Function of growth hormones?
The function of growth hormones is the stimulate growth in the body
What is the function of hCG and eCG?
They help stimulate ovulation.
