Mod 2

QuestionAnswer
What activities in the body needs calcium? hemostasis membrane excitation stabilization of membranes intercellular adhesion muscle contraction excitation/secretion process neurotransmitter release production and maintenance of bone
Where are calcium stored? stable pool - mature bone labile pool - newly formed bone
What is the Ca+ ECF concentraion 8.5-10.5 mg/dl
What are 3 fractions of Ca in ECF? Ionized - biologically activated Protein bound - albumin complexed difussible = ionize + complex non-diffusible - protein bound
What are Calcitropic Hormones? regulate plasma Ca, phophate, magnesium Vitamin D3 Parathyroid hormone (PTH) Calcitonin
Mechanism of Vitamin D3 first hydroxylation (liver) -> 25-OH vit D (calcidiol) - second hydroxylation (kidney) -parathormone ->>Vit D3 (calcitrol, cholecalciferol) 1,25-dihydroxy vit D
stimulant for Vit D3 PTH Insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1)
Inhibitor for Vit D3 fibroblast-derived growth factor 23 (FGF-23) high blood levels of calcium and phosphate
What are PTHrP? minerilization of chondrocytes and citical development of mammary glands, skin and hair follicles high PTHrP = malignant tumor squamous cell carcinomas, breast carcinomas
What is the function of PTH? increase plasma calcium levels
What is the function of calcitonin? opposes action of PTH decrease osteoclast activity
What is the stimulus for calcitonin? >10.5 mg/ml Ca concentration
What are C Cells? parafollicular cells in the thyoid gland - make calcitonin

What are the differential diagnosis w/ hyperparathyroidism? Diabetes - polyuria, polydipsia Cushings - hypertension, demineralization, tireness irribility Addisons - GI problems Thyrotoxicosis - hypercalcemia grave's Disease - hypercalcemia
What are the characteristics of hyperparathyroidism hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia genes - MEN1 MEN2a causes - adenomas, hyperplasia, carcinomas patho - severity parallels hypercalcemia= parathyroid gland
What is the cause of Hypoparathyroidism? removal of parathyroid <7 mg/ml Ca
