Lec 7-6 - Ca Phosphate Homeostasis Flashcards
intracellular function of calcium
contraction, motility, secretion, growth, nerve function
extracellular function of calcium
cell adhesion, aggregation of platelets, membrane integrity, blood coagulation
phosphate functions
buffer, energy exchange, membranes, activate/inactivate enzymes
most calcium and phosphate is here
bone
the calcium and phosphate in the extracellular fluid are blank
regulated
the calcium and phosphate in the intracellular fluid are blank
sequestered
absorption of calcium and phosphate is done here
gut
most calcium is absorbed here
duodenum
most phosphate is absorbed here and is linear with diet.. not saturable like calcium absorption
jejunum
the reabsorption and excretion of calcium and phosphate happen here
kidney
phosphate reabsorption is blank dependent
sodium
parathyroid hormone is made in blank cells of parathyroid gland
chief
PTH is secreted when plasma calcium levels are blank in order to blank calcium reabsorption and blank phosphate reabsorption
low, increase, decrease
calcitonin is made in blank cells of the thyroid gland
parafollicular
calcitonin is secreted when plasma calcium levels are blank in order to blank calcium and phosphate secretion
high, decrease,
