Chapter 23, Problem 12RQ
Osteoclasts make acid (H+) from CO2 and H2O. They secrete the acid at their apical membrane and put bicarbonate into the ECF. Draw an osteoclast and diagram this process, including enzymes and the appropriate transporters on each membrane.

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the activation of certain signal transduction pathways
causes calcium to be removed from bones, leaving them brittle and more likely to break
under moderate pressure.
Current research suggests that osteoporosis can be initiated under conditions of low cal-
cium intake in order to increase the availability of calcium for other biological roles in the
body.
Which of the following describes the conditions that would be most likely to initiate
osteoporosis?
A
B
с
D
insufficient amounts of calcium to allow the replication of DNA molecules during cell
division
insufficient amounts of calcium to maintain the membrane potential established by the
sodium-potassium pump
insufficient amounts of calcium ions to facilitate efficient transduction of neuronal
signals
insufficient amounts of calcium to be used in the fixation stage of the Krebs cycle in
photosynthesis
Which cause-and-effect relationship is correct for a deficiency of active vitamin D (calcitriol)?
bone formation is increased because vitamin D blocks the action of PTH on bone resorption
osteoporosis, but not osteomalacia, is associated with a calcitriol deficiency because calcitriol synergizes with PTH in its action on bone
hypophosphatemia occurs because of decreased intestinal phosphate absorption
hypercalcemia occurs because of decreased intestinal calcium absorption
Many human bones grow by endochondral ossification. Describe how this process happens in a long bone like the femur and name the cells, structures and hormone(s) involved?
