Parathyroid & Ca Metabolism Disorders Flashcards
What is the normal serum Ca range
about 8.5 to 10.5 mg/dL
Describe the distribution of Ca in our body
99% in bones & 1% in ECF (free ionized Ca helps in action potentials, muscle contraction, hormone secretion, blood coag)
Which endocrine hormones regulate calcium homeostasis
PTH, calcitonin, calcitriol
(kidneys, small intestine, liver, bones also regulate)
Describe the relationship of serum calcium & phosphate
inversely proportional (controlled by Ca, PTH, calcitriol)
Describe the storage of phosphate in our body
Most in our bones, remainder as intracellular components of cells (membrane, DNA, RNA, ATP, ADP, lipids, inorganics)
Describe the action of PTH on serum Ca & phosphate
produced by parathyroid glands
- increases serum Ca & decreases serum Phos
Describe the action of Calcitriol on serum Ca & Phosphate
From diet, UV light, from liver/kidneys
- increases serum Ca & serum phos
Describe the relationship between PTH & Ca
Inversely proportionate
