Q

PTH and calcium

A
  • Secretion increases calcium levels

- glands have calcium receptors that respond to Ca levels

Q

How PTH increases calcium

A
  • Bone resorption and release of Ca to blood.
  • Increase renal reabsorption of Ca (excretion of phosphorous)
  • Intestinal reabsorption

Q

Calcium and Phosphorous relationship

A
  • Inverse relationship
  • Reabsorption of Ca = secretion of Phosphorous
  • Influenced by PTH
