Question
Chapter 7.6, Problem 18WDYL
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The flowchart related to the activation of the calcitriol, the molecules associated with each step, and the location where the activation of each molecule occurs.
Introduction:
Calcitriol is one of the hormones that regulate the homeostasis between the calcium levels in blood and bone. This is the active form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). The main function of vitamin D is to promote the absorption of calcium.

Shown below are changes that occur in skeletal muscle during vigorous physical activity. For each parameter, indicate its effect on percent HbO2 saturation (↑,↓) and the amount of free O2 available to the muscle fibers (↑,↓).
↓ Po2 = increase / decrease HbO2 saturation, increase / decrease free O2
↓ pH = increase / decrease HbO2 saturation, increase / decrease free O2
↑ Pco2 = increase / decrease HbO2 saturation, increase / decrease free O2
↑ 2,3-BPG = increase / decrease HbO2 saturation, increase / decrease free O2
↑ Temperature = increase / decrease HbO2 saturation, increase / decrease free O2

- We all get tired sometimes, especially if we have been doing a lot of physical activity like these hikers. But for Jasmin, a 34-year-old former high school track star who is now a recreational runner, her tiredness was going far beyond what she thought should be normal for someone who is generally in good physical shape. She was experiencing extreme fatigue after her runs, as well as muscle cramping, spasms, and an unusual sense of heaviness in her legs. At first, she chalked it up to getting older, but her exhaustion and longer run for more than a few minutes at a time. She also began to experience other unusual symptoms, such as blurry vision and vomiting for no apparent reason. What are mitochondria?
