a. Calcium
b. phosphorus
c. vitamin D
d. magnesium
d. magnesium
The kidneys plan and important role in the maintenance of calcium-phosphorus homeostasis which also involves the production of the active form of vitamin D.

Which of the following is true about Type 1 error?
a rejects the null hypothesis, when the null hypothesis is true
b. saying there isn’t a difference between the 2 groups when there is
c. fails to reject the null hypothesis, when the null hypothesis is false
d. most likely due to a smaller study
a rejects the null hypothesis, when the null hypothesis is true
Type 1 results show that there is a difference when there really isn’t (false positive intervention)
With higher altitudes, hematocrit and hemoglobin levels:
a. hematocrit increase, hemoglobin decreases
b. stay the same
c. decrease
d. increase
d. increase
At higher altitudes, hematocrit and hemoglobin levels increase to adapt because there are lower levels of oxygen.

c. hypothyroid disease
Wilson’s Teperature Syndrome is characterized by body temperature that averages below 98.6 measured orally, typically below 97.8
Type of study?
Track a single person of group of people over time
Discuss characteristics of or events that occur to a single person or group
Primary limitation - may not be generalized to larger populations
Descriptive Research
Case Studies
Typer of study?
Questioner or interviews administered to sample of people
Primary limitation:
They collect self-reported data and can be subject to bias
Potential issues with reliability, validity, or how wording of questions can influence people’s answers.
Descriptive Research
Surveys
Type of study?
Looks at events that happened in the past and uses I too make influences about other times, including the future
Limitations:
Information form the past may be incomplete or inaccessible
May be subject to the biases of the researchers involved
Descriptive Research
Historical research
Type of studies?
Variables in a group at a specific point in time
Most useful for:
Population-based surveys
To assess the prevalence of disease in a population
Primary limitation-impossible to assess causal relationships because it’s a one-time “snapshot” measurement.
Exploratory or Eepidemiological Research
Cross-sectional Studies
Type of study?
Determine of exposure to something is associated with an outcome
Scientists identify people with the outcome and similar people who don’t have the outcome
uses data that has already been collected or occurred in the past
Exploratory or Eepidemiological Research
Case-control studies
Group followed over time to determine association between an exposure and an outcome or disease
- Group free of outcomes or disease
- Researchers identify exposure or event or interest
- group followed over time until disease or outcome occurs
- Association between exposure and risk of outcome assessed
Limitations:
Susceptibility to selection bias
Subjects are followed for extended periods of time may withdraw of be lost follow-up
if retrospective less control over variables and the subjects may be susceptible to recall bias
Exploratory or Eepidemiological Research
Cohort Studies
Type of study?
Statistical analysis that combines the results of multiple scientific studies
Meta-analysis
