Hormones that Regulate Calcium Current LectureI. Learning Objectives 1. Be able to- Describe a homeostatic feedback response for blood sugar (+/-) and blood calcium (+/-)II. Blood Sugar Regulation- Energy Source: major source of fuel for respiration- Carbohydrate skeletons proved for biosynthesis: building more complicated molecules from simple ones - Blood Sugar Range: 70-100 mg/100 mLThese 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. TOPHAT QUESTION: You just skipped a meal, what is the effector organ for the up-regulation of your blood sugar levels?A) The liver III. Hormones that Regulate Blood Sugar  Glucagon- made by alpha cells in the pancreas- Target tissues: liver cells- Glucagon signals the conversion of glycogen in the liver to glucose and its release into the blood stream Insulin- made by beta cells in the pancreas- Target tissues: any cell except the brain that take up glucose- Cells in the liver uptake glucose and store it as glycogen; decrease glycogen breakdownIV. Diabetes Mellitus - Type I- Insulin dependent - Immune system is destroying the beta cells in the pancreas- Cannot produce insulin- Type II- Non- insulin dependent - Failure of the target cells to respond normally- Lack of exercise and excess body weight aid because the additional sugar in fat cannot be removed- 7th most common cause of death in the U.SV. Calcium Regulation - Importanceo Normal cell functioningo Synaptic transmission- If the levels are too low then it’s going to affect skeletal muscles, causing them to contract convulsively (tetanus)- If the levels are too high the calcium phosphate precipitates form in the body tissues and can cause organ failure - Calcium Range: 9-11 mg/ 100 mLVI. Hormones that regulate Calcium - Parathyroid hormone (PTH)- Produced in the parathyroid- Target tissues: bones- release Ca 2+ into the bloodstream and kidneys- reabsorption of Ca2+ and converts vitamin D into an active hormone which stimulates the uptake of Ca2+ from blood- Calcitonin- Produced in the thyroid- Target tissues: bones- inhibits uptake of Ca2+ rom bones into the bloodstream and kidneys- enhances Ca2+ release from
