Which hormone increases osteoclast activity to release more calcium ions into the bloodstream?

Biology
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: both parathyroid hormone and calcitrol.

Explanation:

In the body calcium homeostasis, which is generally defined as the maintenance of specific internal conditions, is mediated by the endocrine system through hormonal control; hormones are usually specialized signal molecules derived from lipids or amino acids. This regulates the calcium flux between the bloodstream and the bone; and the hormones responsible, change the ratio of osteoclast activity to osteoblast activity -osteoblasts build bone while osteoclasts breakdown or degrade bone.

Hormones responsible include calcitonin (from special parafollicular cells in the thyroid gland), cacitrol (activated vitamin D) and the parathyroid hormone (from the  parathyroid glands).  These affect the absorption of calcium from the gut, or kidney reabsorption; both parathyroid hormone and calcitrol act by causing the release of calcium ions into the bloodstream as the bone is degraded by osteoclasts.

The effects of anaerobic conditions how would anaerobic conditions (when no o2 is present) affect the rate of electron transport
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Anaerobic condition refers to an environmental condition where oxygen is absent. In case of Electron Transport System (ETS) and ATP production, oxygen acts as the final acceptor of electrons. As oxygen is a reactant in ETS and ATP production, unavailability of oxygen can cause no oxidation of the coenzymes or the carriers such as NAPH and FADH2 and no ATP will be produced. Thus, both Electron Transport System and ATP production will stop in the absence of oxygen.

A slow reproduction process is a disadvantage of which form of reproduction? sexual reproduction asexual reproduction binary fis
Klio2033 [76]

The right answer is sexual reproduction.

Reproduction is the set of processes by which a species is perpetuated, causing the birth of new organisms. In sexual reproduction, the increased complexity of the genome must develop two different but compatible versions: one male, the other female within each individual (two alleles from both parents). In addition, the species is constrained to a slower evolutionary process to maintain compatibility, where asexual individuals can mutate much more rapidly to adapt to changes such as many bacteria and viruses.
