100
Q

If blood calcium levels are high, what hormone is inhibited

A

Parathyroid hormone, PTH

101
Q

How does parathyroid hormone increase blood calcium levels

A

By releasing calcium stored in bone

102
Q

PTH and calcitonin work tighter to maintain what

A

Maintain calcium levels

103
Q

PTH is complementary to what else, in order to maintain calcium levels

A

Calcitonin

104
Q

Is something is hypocalcemia, what does this mean

A

Low blood calcium

105
Q

Hypocalcemia will stimulate the what

A

Stimulate the parathyroid glands

106
Q

When there is hypocalcemia, PTH is released how does this affect the bones

A

PTH activates osteoclasts and calcium and ions are released into the blood

107
Q

When PTH activates osteoclasts in the bones, what does this release into the blood

A

Calcium and phosphate ione

108
Q

How does low calcium affect the kidneys after PTH has been released

A

Increases calcium reabsorption and promotes activation of vitamin D

109
Q

How will the activation of vitamin D from the kidneys affect the intestine when PTH has been released due to hypocalcemia

A

Is will increase calcium absorption from food

110
Q

What are the three ways which PTH increases calcium levels in the blood

A
  1. Activates osteoclasts in the bones
  2. Increases calcium absorption from food in the intestines
  3. Increases calcium reabsorption from the kidneys
111
Q

PTH causes the kidney to increase calcium levels, what two ways does the kidneys do this

A

Increases calcium reabsorption and promotes activation of vitamin D which means more calcium can be absorbed from food in the small intestines

112
Q

How many adrenal glands do we have

A

2 adrenal glands

113
Q

What is the outer adrenal gland called

A

Cortex

114
Q

The cortex is the outer of inner adrenal gland

A

Outer

115
Q

What is the inner adrenal gland called

A

Medulla

116
Q

The medulla is the outer or inner adrenal gland

A

Inner

117
Q

The outer adrenal gland is called the medulla, true or false

A

False, it is called the cortex

118
Q

What is a stressor

A

Any effect on the body that disturbs homeostasis

119
Q

A stressor on the body can only be external, true or false?

A

False, it can be internal or external

120
Q

When there is a short term stress on the body, this releases what two hormones

A

Adrenal and noradrenaline

121
Q

A

Shirt term stress result

122
Q

What two hormones are released from the adrenal glands

A

123
Q

Is the adrenal medulla part of the sympathetic nervous system or parasympathetic nervous system

A

Sympathetic nervous system

124
Q

Q

What is noradrenaline

A
