Which of the following statements about calcium homeostasis is FALSE? * PTH stimulates calcium uptake by bones The parathyroid gland secretes PTH in response to low calcium levels. The thyroid gland secretes calcitonin in response to high blood calcium levels. Calcitonin targets bone cells.. Calcitonin and PTH are antagonistic hormones (have opposing functions)..

All of the following result in decreased calcium levels in the bloodstream except... calcitonin inhibition of osteoclasts pth stimulation of osteoclasts increased calcitonin levvels decreased pth or calcitriol levels
Why does the release of cortisol during the stress response have a negative effect on bone density? Cortisol increases serum calcium to fuel muscle contraction during the fight or flight responseCortisol reduces estrogen production and triggers early menopause Cortisol draws calcium out of the bones to increase serum calcium to fuel muscle contraction during the fight or flight response Cortisol decreases calcium to fuel muscle contraction during the fight or flight response
The normal physiologic regulation of calcium homeostasis is NOT regulated by which of the following? 1) Parathyroid hormone 2) Vitamin D 3) Parathyroid hormone-related protein 4) Albumin no references, just homework
What are the Hormones that regulate calcium and phosphate homeostasis: parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, 1,25 (ОН)2D3. The influence of other hormones in calcium metabolism (glucocorticoids, somatotropin. Thyroid hormones, estrogens, insulin)

Indicate of the statements are TRUE or FALSE. Statements TRUE FALSE Production of blood cells is NOT a function of skeletal system. Thyroid hormone may produce either osteogenesis or osteolysis. Bone matrix is composed primarily of Calcium and Magnesium which maybe withdrawn in small amounts as needed elsewhere in the body. Remodelling of bone is a function of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. A combination of the hormone, adrenal cortisol, and the bone cell, osteoclast, may result in osteoporosis. The addition of bone to its outer surface resulting in growth in diameter is called apposional growth. Once an individual reaches skeletal maturity, the bones undergo years of metabolic rest. Mitosis resulting in elongation of bone occurs at the articular cartilage. Most bones of the body are formed by intramembranous ossification.
Explain the function and regulation of parathyroid hormone. - Contrast in detail the action of calcitonin and parathyroid hormone in calcium homeostasis.
To determine: The effect of calcitonin on blood calcium levels when the release of this hormone is controlled by negative feedback mechanism.
Can this be considered positive or negative mechanism?
Which of the following is NOT a representation of Wolff's Law of bone remodeling? O Appositional growth in the bones of a weight lifter Calcium reabsorption from the bones of a bed ridden patient O Osteoporosis causing decreased bone density O All are examples of Wolff's law
Describe how parathyroid hormone and calcitonininfluence bone health and calcium homeostasis
