Q

What is the function of phosphate?

explain them.

A

it is a catalyst for numerous enzymatic ractions in the body.

essential in the phospholipid membrane of cells, nucleic acids, phosphoproteins, modifying calcium concentrations, reguations metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbs, regulates enzymatic reactions such as glycolysis, ammoniagenesis, regulates 2, 3 DPG, source of high energy ATP bonds

17
Q

What is the normal serum phosphate?

A

2.6-4.5

18
Q

How much phosphate is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule?

A

85-90%

19
Q

How is elimination determined?

A

Filtration- reabsorption

20
Q

Where is the parathyroid hormone released from?

A

the parathyroid glands

21
Q

What does an increase in parathyroid hormone do??

A

increases calcium, decrease phosphorous

22
Q

What does parathyroid hormone do to bone?

A

increases osteoclastic activity, decreases osteoblastic activity decreases osteoblastic activity resulting in mobilization of calcium > phosphate

23
Q

What does parathyroid hormone do to the kidney

A

increases reabsorption of calcium and decreases phosphate reabsorption in the renal tubules

24
Q

What does parathyroid hormone do to GI tract?

A

it increases the conversion of Vitamin D to 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitrol) promoting the absorption of calcium by the intestine

25
Q

What does vitamin D hormone come from?

A

Vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 can be ingested in the diet or formed as a result fof UV irradiation of the skin, converting D2 to D3
