Q

what is Ca2+ maintained by?

A

PTH, Vitamin D, cacitonin

25
Q

where do you find phsphate?

A

skeleton and extracellular fluid

26
Q

what are the three fractions of phsophate in serum/

A

ionised phosphate

protein bound phophate and complexed

27
Q

what is phsphate metabolism regulated by?

A

PTH

28
Q

where can you recieve vitamin D?

A

in the skin, digestion

29
Q

in the skin how is vitamin D procuced?

A

7-dehydrocholesterol is converted by UV light to vitamin D

30
Q

how is vitamin D activated?

A

2 rounds of hydroxylation

31
Q

where does the first hydroxylation of vitamin D occur?

A

liver

32
Q

where does the second hydroxylation of vitamin D occur?

A

kidney

33
Q

what type of vitamin D is responsible for most biological mechanisms?

A

principle hormonal form

34
Q

what is the production of vitamin D regulated by?

A

PTH

35
Q

what is the production of vitamin D inhibited by?

A

elevated serum calcium or phosphate

36
Q

what doe vitamin D do?

A

increases calcium and phosphate absorption from intestines
mobilised calcium and phophate from bone
induces marrow monocytes to increase production of osteoclasts to promote resorption

37
Q

what seceretes PTH?

A

parathyroid gland

38
Q

what can PTH stimulate?

A

osteoclast resroption
decresases renal calcium secretion
increases renal production of vitamin D

39
Q

what is parathyroid hormone related protein produced by?

A

normal and malignant cells

40
Q

what is PTHrP required for?

A

development, regulator of proliferation and mineralisation of chondrocytes

41
Q

what s calcitonin?

A

small poly peptide

42
Q

what releases calcitonin?

A

parafollicular cells of the thyroid

43
Q

what induces the release of calcitonin?

A

high plasma calcium levels

44
Q

what does calcitonin do?

A

reduces bone resorption by activating calcitonin receptors expressed by osteoclasts

45
Q

physiology of calcium metabolism to increase?

A

low calcium in circulation is detected by parathyroid gland, PTH is secreted, PTH and vitamin D increases the mobilisation of Ca into circulation

46
Q

physiology of calcium metabolism to decrease?

A

calcium is detected by thyroid C cells, which increases the secretion of calcitonin, which targets osteoclats to limit resrption and decrease calcium in circulation

47
Q

how does oestrogen affect bone metabolism?

A

reduce resorption by inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and inhibiting osteoclast function

48
Q

how does androgens affect bone metabolism?

A

low levels means low bone density in men

they target osteoclasts

49
Q

what are the causes of hypercalcium?

A

primary hyperthyroidism, malignancy, immobalisation, vitamin D toxicity

50
Q

what is primary hyperthyroidism?

A

excessive secretion of PTH

51
Q

what causes primary hyperthyroidism?

A

solitary adenoma of parathyroid glands

52
Q

what are the symptoms of primary hyperthyroidism?

A

excessive skeletal erosion, kidney stones

53
Q

causes of hypocalcemia?

A

renal failure, vitamin D defficiency, prematurity (immture vitamin D metabolism, immature parathyroid gland)

54
Q

what is osteomalacia caused by?

A

vit D defficiency, malabsorption, renal disease, lack of sunlight, anticonvulsants inhibit vitamin D synthesis

55
Q

osteomalacia symptoms?

A

bone pain around hips, muscle weakness, alavated alkaline phosphatase levels, decreased mineralisation, long bones bowing

56
Q

what is osteoporosis?

A

net loss of bone mass and decreasd bone mineral density

57
Q

in what type of person is osteoporosis common?

A

post menopausal woman, elderly, inactive

58
Q

treatment of osteoporosis?

A

calcium supplementation, hormone replacement therapy, bisphosphates, calcitonin, selective estrogen receptor modulators
