Question

Each of the following complications listed below is a result of a homeostatic calcium imbalance. Which would not be life threatening? Multiple Choice 1) Inability to maintain the resting membrane potential 2) Declining neuronal communication 3) A deficit of appositional bone growth 4) Decreased blood clotting ability

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is number 3.  A deficit of appositional bone growth would not be life threatening.

Explanation:

Appositional bone growth can be defined as the thickening of the bones due to increase in the number of bone tissues at the surface. In this kind of bone growth, the diameter of the bone increases rather than the length of the bone. This can lead to deformation of the bone but it is not life-threatening.

Rest of the options 1, 2 and 3 are serious disorders and can eventually lead to death.
