Explanation:

When calcium levels in the blood become too low, parathyroid hormone leads to an increase in calcium by degrading bone. In response, calcitonin from the thyroid is released when the levels are high again, to decrease calcium levels in the blood.

Further Explanation:

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis. Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. The regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

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. 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), calcitriol (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 calcitriol act by causing the increase of calcium ions into the bloodstream as the bone is degraded by osteoclasts.

The inner lining of blood vessels is called the inner lining of blood vessels is called Endocardium .

The endocardium is the innermost layer of tissue that lines the chambers of the heart. Its cells are embryologically and biologically similar to the endothelial cells that line blood vessels. The endocardium also provides protection to the valves and heart chambers.

Olin [163]

Answer:

There are four fates for acetyl CoA in the human body. Here are all the fates of acetyl CoA:

Explanation:

1. Acetyl CoA in the mitochondria can be used in the electron transport chain to form CO₂ and water.

2. Acetyl CoA can synthesize ketonebodies which are oxidized for energy in the liver.

3. Acetyl CoA outside of the mitochondria and inside the cytosol can also be used to make fatty acids from glucose.

4. Acetyl CoA in the cytoplasm will also go on to synthesize cholesterol.

Altogether, the functions of acetyl CoA in the body is diverse and multi functional. The cells in other parts of the body do most of these functions but the ketone bodies formed in the liver creates a large amount of ketone bodies that are transported elsewhere.
