A

Hypocalcemia →

Parathyroid Stimulation →

PTH Release →

20
Q

Which pool of calcium in bone?

  • mature mineralized
  • hydroxyapatite
  • reabsorption, slow breakdown into ECF
A

Stable pool

21
Q

Which pool of calcium in bone?

  • bone fluid in canaliculi
  • amorphous crystals
  • osteolytic osteolysis, fast release of ca and po4
A

labile pool

22
Q

What separates bone from plasma within the canals?

A

osteocytic-osteoblastic membrane

23
Q

In the labile pool, what moves calcium and po4 into the plasma in the central canal?

A

PTH activated calcium pump in osteocytic-osteoblastic membrane

24
Q

PTH targets osteoblasts which regulate osteoclast activity by releasing what two substances?

A

OPG and RANKL/OPGL

25
Q

What occurs when OPGL/RANKL alone bind osteoclasts?

A

bone resorption

26
Q

What happens if OPG is co-released with OPGL/RANKL?
