Chapter 17, Problem 6CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The relation between hypothyroidism and regulation of blood calcium.
Introduction:
Thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland present in the anterior neck, on the trachea, and inferiorly to the larynx. The two lobes are connected by a median bridge called the isthmus. Internally, the thyroid gland consists of spherical hollow follicles with an areolar connective tissue separating the follicles.

For each of the following scenarios explain how blood calcium would be effected (increased or decrease) and describe the pathway that results in an alteration of calcium levels.
A: Jackie goes on a tropical vacation.
B: Larry has takes a medication that osteoblasts more active.
C: Lisa has an operation to remove her parathyroid glands.
What effect does calcitonin have on blood calcium concentration, and how does it produce this effect? Answerthe same questions for parathyroid hormone.
Does calcitonin decrease or increase blood calcium? Explain.
