Ca and PO4 Hemostasis Flashcards
What are the normal values of
Plasma Calcium
Plasma Phosphate
Plasma Calcium (10 mg/dL)
Plasma Phosphate (4 mg/dL)
3 organs that maintain Ca and PO4 at a normal level:
GIT, KIDNEYS. BONES
What vitamin enhances calcium?
VITAMIN D ENHANCES CALCIUM
Abnormal Formation of the bone is called?
Spurs
What if a person with normal body function takes more than the normal Ca mg/dL, Will they have Hypercalcemia? Why?
No, Because the body will find a way to store or excrete the Excess Ca
Any excess calcium will be deposited in the? or excreted by the ?
Any excess calcium will be deposited in the BONE or excreted by the KIDNEY
T or F
we can live without calcitonin
TRUE
Why does Ca and PO4 not crystalize/calcify on other Tissues?
Because of Pyrophosphate
*it inhibits crystallization/calcification
The three important organs is regulated by 3 important hormones what are these?
vitamin d, (more important)
calcitonin, (we can live without)
PTH (more important)
What will happen if pyrophosphate fails? (in the aorta)
It will lead to atheromatous aorta
*the build-up of plaques
If the PO4 goes down what will happen to the relative amount of Ca?
a. Increase
b. Decrease
c. No change
a. Increase
*because PO4 will be limited thus Ca cannot bind, vice versa
T or F
Ca is not important in cell excitability
FALSE
Ca is important in cell excitability
All of these utilizes Ca EXCEPT:
Release of NTA, hormones
For bone, teeth
Increasing ROM
In pregnancy, nursing
Increasing ROM
What is the Biologically ac5tive form of Ca?
Ionized calcium, or free calcium
*it is the one who participates in the various process in the body
Majority of PO4 is in what form?
What % is protein bound?
What % is complexed with Ca ions?
Iodized Form
10% = protein bound
6% = complexed with Ca ions
Ratio of Ca to PO4
Ca 1.5 = PO42
