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
Which of the following hormones are responsible forthe adolescent growth spurt?a. estrogen and testosteroneb. calcitonin and calcitriolc. growth hormone and parathyroid hormoned. thyroxine and progesterone
How does Parathyroid Hormone elevate blood calcium levels?
by increasing the amount of CA2+ removed from the blood by the kidneys
by decreasing the amount of CA2+ absorbed from the gut into the blood
by increasing the number and activity of osteoclasts
by increasing the number and activity of osteoblasts

- True or false Gigantism can often be treated and even cured with sugery. Dwarfism is due to excessive GH secretion. Type I diabetes melitus is commonly seen in children, not in adultsarrow_forwardWhich of the following is false? parathyroid hormone is produced by the parathyroid gland parathyroid hormone increases urination of calcium Oparathyroid hormone stimulates osteoclasts parathyroid hormone increases calcium concentration in the bloodarrow_forwardWhich of the following hormones stimulates bone and muscle growth? Prolactin, Vasopressin, Thyroid Hormone, or Oxytocinarrow_forward
- Which of the following hormones requires iodine to be active? both calcitriol and parathyroid hormone O parathyroid hormone calcitriol estrogen O thyroid hormonearrow_forwardThe conditions of gigantism and pituitary dwarfism are extreme opposite conditions of adult height. What is the effect of growth hormone on each condition?arrow_forwardSelect ALL the statements that are correct. Growth hormone production is inhibited by somatostatin. Growth hormone production is stimulated by the release of the tropic hormone GHRH in the hypothalamus. Growth hormone production is inhibited by IGF-1 which is secreted by the liver. Gigantism and acromegaly differ in that gigantism is due to oversecretion of GHRH, not GH.arrow_forward
- The primary hormone controlling blood calcium levels in humans is: calcitriol calcitonin insulin parathyroid hormonearrow_forwardWhich of the following hormones increases calcium concentration in the blood? Parathyroid hormone Thymosin Calcitonin Thyroid hormonearrow_forwardThe 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 homeworkarrow_forward
- Explain the following factors affecting growth and give examples: • Genetic History • Nutrition • Sleep • Emotional Well-beingarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about calcium homeostasis is FALSE? *PTH stimulates calcium uptake by bonesThe 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)..arrow_forwardHypocalcemia, or low levels of calcium, may result in brittle nails, broken bones, muscle cramps, mental confusion, and seizures.Select the FOUR actions below that would help the body to maintain homeostasis if blood calcium levels are low. Low levels of blood calcium are detected by thyroid gland. Low levels of blood calcium are detected by parathyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone is released. Calcitonin is released. Bone is broken down to release calcium. Muscle is broken down to release calcium. Calcium uptake by the kidneys and intestines increases. Calcium uptake by the kidneys and intestines decreases.arrow_forward
