ESSAY QUESTION: Explain how the body regulates the calcium level in the blood. Discuss the activities of both hormones involved and where each is made. What problems might occur in the body if the calcium level were too low?
If Calcium Levels Are Too High: I-f the Calcium levels in the blood rise above a certain set point, the Thyroid gland releases Calcitonin, which brings down calcium levels by blocking the breakdown of bone calcium and preventing your kidneys from reabsorbing calcium. In other words, it encourages calcium loss through your kidneys. If Calcium Levels Are Too Low: -If the calcium levels fall below a set point, parathyroid glands in the thyroid release parathyroid hormone (PTH), which increases calcium levels in the blood by decreasing phosphate reabsorption at the proximal convoluted tubule. Phosphate ions in the serum form salts with calcium that are insoluble, resulting in decreased plasm calcium. The reduction of phosphate ions, therefore, results in more ionized calcium in the blood. Short Answer: -When calcium levels are too high, the thyroid releases Calcitonin, which lowers blood calcium levels. When calcium levels are too low, the Parathyroid Gland releases Parathyroid Hormone, which increases blood calcium levels. What problems might occur if blood calcium levels are too low? -Muscle cramps -Muscle aches -Tingling in your lips, tongue, fingers and/or feet -Neurologic of psychologic symptoms such as confusion, memory loss, delirium, depression, and hallucinations -Muscle spasms in your throat making it difficult to breathe (laryngospasm)

ESSAY QUETION: Emma, an elderly white woman, noticed that she was half an inch shorter than she was at her last doctor's visit. Her doctor suggested that she begin a regimen of dietary supplements of calcium and vitamin D. What bone disease did the doctor suspect? What would the prescribed treatment do for this condition?

ESSAY QUESTION: Growth hormone can be given to people to increase their height. This requires rapid bone growth. If a young adult wants to be given growth hormone, x-ray films will be taken of his or her skeleton. What is the physician looking for, and how would it affect the decision to give or withhold growth hormone?
The physician is looking to see if the growth plates (epiphyseal plates) are still open. Being that rapid growth is required for successful Growth Hormone Therapy, seeing whether or not the growth plates are still open (indicating whether or not the child is done growing) help the physician to determine whether to give or withhold growth hormone Closed growth plates =no growth hormone Open growth plates = growth hormone
