Parathyroid Hormone in IntestinesVII. Control of ParathyroidVIII. CalcitoninIX. Vitamin DX. Normal Plasma Calcium LevelsXI. Deficiency in Vitamin D, Calcium, Parathyroid HormoneXII. Parathyroid Hormone DisordersXIII. Vitamin D Deficiency XIV. Fracture BonesCurrent LectureI. We Regulate 3 Hormones for Plasma-Parathyroid Hormone-Calcitonin: peptide-Vitamin D: steroid-99% of Ca in body is in the bones + teeth-0.9%: in soft tissues-0.1%: in plasma 0.05% = free in plasma ONLY PART WE REGULATE 0.05% = bound in plasmaII. Plasma Calcium Levels These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute. Renal ExcretionIntestinal AbsorptionPlasma Ca2+ LevelsIII. Parathyroid Hormone-primary regulator-peptide-effects on bone, renal excretion indirectly: absorption of calcium of renal through lumen-overall effect: increase plasma calcium levelsIV. Bones-like a lock-tissue that is metabolically inert: you might think-BUT bone IS metabolically active-matrix: consists of collagen (fibrous protein that makes up cartilage)-calcium phosphate: makes bones hard and brittle-bones (mechanical): collagen with calcium phosphate deposited on it called matrix-matrix is constantly being dissolved and reformed constantly losing calcium in plasma constantly digesting collagen-dissolution of bone is random-but deposition occurs along the lines of stress + compression thickest and most rapid forming along these lines called bone remodeling-parathyroid causes increase in removal of calcium and phosphate into plasma promotes bone dissolution-chronic deficiency results in loss of bone densityV. Parathyroid Hormone in Kidneys-mobilizing calcium and phosphate, so increasing levels-increase calcium and prevent phosphate from precipitating -when you add calcium, you add phosphate-increases reabsorption of calcium from nephron to plasma-increases rate of excreting phosphate so major effect: increase calcium and decrease phosphate-end result: decrease calcium phosphate in bones and teeth; increase calcium phosphate in plasma; does not affect plasma phosphate levels muchVI. Parathyroid Hormone in Intestines-not direct effectBones and TeethBones and Teeth-absolute dependent on Vitamin D Activated Vitamin Do 2 transformations in liver and kidneyo required to absorb calcium into lumeno parathyroid hormone promotes activation of Vitamin D in the kidneyVII. Control of Parathyroid-no endocrine + neural control -secretion is direct response to plasma calcium levels VIII. Calcitonin-secreted by thyroid gland; cells that secrete is called C-cells -decreases plasma calcium levels -secretion by simple (-) feedback -physiologically, a calcitonin is not important unless lactationIX. Vitamin D-doesn’t do anything by itself (no absorption)-need metabolic production: Activated Vitamin D no Activated Vitamin D, no Calcium Deficiency-Vitamin D is a precursor to Activated Vitamin D-Vitamin D deficiency: hypercalcemic -2 Sources of Vitamin D synthesized in skin exposed to sunlight is not an adequate source of Vitamin D another source is in dieto most common source of Vitamin DX. Normal Plasma Calcium Levels-vary secretion of Parathyroid Hormone-increase Parathyroid to promote phosphate excretion and calcium absorption in lumen-promotes Vitamin D activation to increase calcium absorption in the gut XI. Deficiency in Vitamin D, Calcium, Parathyroid Hormone-bones lose density and become weak + fragile-use last bit to maintain normal plasma calcium levelsXII. Parathyroid Hormone Disorders-hyperparathyroidism: elevated plasma calcium levels, reduced bone density muscle weakness depress neural activity poor memory kidney stones bone density decreases; bones weaken -hypoparathyroidism: muscle excitability; spasms-complete lack: fatal; calcium so low that respiratory system goes into spasmic contractionsXIII. Vitamin D Deficiency -reduced ability to absorb Vitamin D-reduced bone density: adults-bones less rigid (condition called Rickett’s): in children flexible bones-osteoporosis: rate of reduction at which new bone gets laid down; around age 50+ causes reduction in bone mass more common in women hunched back b/c neck loses rigidity plasma calcium levels are normal younger women: estrogen prevents it exercise builds bones and makes it less likely to get osteoporosisXIV. Fracture Bones-broken end decalcifies-bone becomes flexible and sticky -align it back but not touching (just close enough to get the blood circulating)-over time, soft gummy stuff calcifies, so product is bone with a bump-bone will be considerably thicker as it remodels-gradually, the bone will drift back, but it will have a bend in
