In the 2015 census, Albertans spent 30% of their budget on food purchased from restaurants. A lot of the food purchased is in the form of fast food. Fast food is often high in fat and sodium and low in nutrients and minerals such as calcium. Hypocalcemia, or low levels of calcium, may result in brittle nails, broken bones, muscle cramps, mental confusion, and seizures. Select the actions below that would help the body to maintain homeostasis if blood calcium levels are low. 1. Low levels of blood calcium are detected by thyroid gland. 2. Low levels of blood calcium are detected by parathyroid gland. 3. Parathyroid hormone is released. 4. Calcitonin is released. 5. Bone is broken down to release calcium. 6. Muscle is broken down to release calcium. 7. Calcium uptake by the kidneys and intestines increases. 8. Calcium uptake by the kidneys and intestines decreases. Record your answers in ascending (lowest to highest) order.
