Rickets is the disease in children in which an inefficient mineralization of the bone forming tissue causes deformities. This condition results in weak or soft bones in children, normally due to an extreme and prolonged deficiency of vitamin D. Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms include bowed legs, stunted growth, bone pain, large forehead, and trouble sleeping among others.

How does the thyroid gland help maintain and regulate calcium?
Art [367]

Answer:

When the calcium level is high in the bloodstream, the thyroid gland releases calcitonin. Calcitonin slows down the activity of the osteoclasts found in bone. This decreases blood calcium levels. When calcium levels decrease, this stimulates the parathyroid gland to release parathyroid hormone.

Choose ALL of the phases of matter listed<br> that are able to flow:<br> gas<br> liquid<br> solid
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

- gas

- liquid

Explanation:

     Part of the definition of gases and liquids is the ability to flow, so this answers your question.

     Why does this not apply to solids? The cells in a solid are closer together with less room for movement, so they do not "flow" like gasses or liquids. You can think of the device you are asking this question on versus the water in the ocean.

<u>Note</u>: Gas can still flow, but it does not flow the same as water. It depends on what you are being taught for if gas flows or not.

-> Liquid flows from high to low only, while gas can flow in all directions

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

     ★ Also please leave the rating you think I deserve (It helps other users as well as myself)
