How do the thyroid and parathyroid from a feedback loop?

Biology
1 answer:
shtirl [24]3 years ago
6 0

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.

What could be a result of an injury to the dorsal column? loss of sensation to pressure and touch loss of control over all invol
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The correct answer would be a loss of sensation to pressure and touch.

The dorsal column-medial lemniscus pathway abbreviated as DCML refers to the sensory pathway of the central nervous system (CNS) which transmits sensations of vibration, fine touch, proprioception, and two-point discrimination from the skin as well as joints.  

Thus, injury to the dorsal column would result in the loss of sensation to touch and pressure.

Which discovery in the 1800s lead to the development of germ theory
bogdanovich [222]

<u>Answer:</u>

Discovery of vaccine for smallpox, viruses and actual organisms that cause many diseases lead to the development of Germ Theory.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Theory was the 'predominant theory' of 'disease transmission' before germ theory but it is no longer accepted as a 'scientific theory' of diseases.
  • 'Formal and reliable experiments' on germs and diseases relationship were 'conducted by Louis Pasteur'.
  • He showed that growth of microorganisms was not a spontaneous generation and his pasteurization experiment provided key pieces of evidence that supported germ theory.
