The normal blood pH is tightly regulated between ?.

What is Calcium rigor

Blood calcium levels are above normal; the muscles contract and cannot relax

(DEXA scan) What does it entail?

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is a means of measuring bone mineral density. Two X-ray beams, with different energy levels, are aimed at the patient's bones.

(DEXA scan)When soft tissue absorption is subtracted out, the bone mineral density can be determined from the ?.

absorption of each beam by bone

The negative(-) ones are

anions

All of the following statements describe the consequences of inadequate calcium intake except: a. All adults lose bone as they grow older, beginning between the ages of 30 and 40. b. Low calcium intakes during the growing years limits the bones' ability to attain peak bone mass. c. By age 30 those with a high peak bone mass will be well protected against age-related bone loss and fractures that can occur later in life. d. A low calcium intake during the growing years will not stunt the child's growth. e. Osteoporosis is characterized by bone loss so severe that common, everyday stresses result in bone fractures.

d. A low calcium intake during the growing years will not stunt the child's growth.

Hyponatremia is a condition resulting from high salt intake. e. The DASH diet that is low in sodium but abundant in potassium-rich vegetables and fruits and calcium-rich dairy foods not only helps to lower blood pressure, but may also prevent bone loss.
