Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Vitamin D is needed for the absorption of calcium through the intestine. It is an essential constituent of the bone matrix. Vitamin D can either be synthesized or ingested in the body. Fish, cheese, and eggs are rich in vitamin D.

Students have asked these similar questions
normal bone formation and growth are dependent on the adequate intake of:
choice a: sodium, potassium and vitamin E
choice b: potassium, phos. and vitamin d.
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
Which of the following is important for raising the blood calcium level?
A. Vitamin D
B. Calcitriol
C. Calcitonin
D. PTH

O It allows for the extraction of nutrients from the skeleton. O It helps to repair damage to bone. O It allows for the production of blood cells. O It is the process of bone resorption and re-formation.arrow_forward
- To measure the amount of bone mineral is using photon absorptiometry. True or false? False Truearrow_forwardThe breakdown of bone matrix is performed by osteoblasts requires the deposition of mineral salts by osteocytes removes minerals and proteins from the blood elevates blood calcium levels and is called bone resorptionarrow_forwardChronic vitamin D deficiency results in which of these consequences?a. Bones become brittle.b. The percentage of bone composed of hydroxyapatite increases.c. Bones become soft and pliable.d. Scurvy occurs.e. Both a and b are correct.arrow_forward
- Which of the following best describes creation of new bone? Osteoblasts produce osteoclasts which ultimately becomes new bone Osteocytes differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells, which through help of osteocytes, becomes new bone Endosteum becomes yellow bone marrow, which ossifies into osteocytes Osteoprogenitor daughter cells differentiate into osteoblasts, creating osteocytes, forming new bonearrow_forwardWomen build bone until about age 35 and then begin to lose about 1 percent of their bone mass annually. Men start losing bone mass approximately 10 to 20 years later. During the aging process, most skeletal system changes result from changes in connective tissue. Most bone loss is caused by the loss later in life of bone mineral content, especially calcium salts deposited in the bone matrix. The cartilage becomes hard and brittle. Research Patient Education for Osteoporosis Prevention and describe how you would explain to a patient in their mid 30's.. What are some treatment options for Osteoporosis?arrow_forwardCalcium deficiency causes a number of complications, many of which have a very negative impact on athletic performance. Why do you think calcium intake is low in the United States? What shifts in dietary intake/trends have lead to calcium deficiency, especially in children?arrow_forward
- What will happen if you do not consume enough calcium on a particular day? If an injury occurs, the blood will not appropriately clot. Blood calcium levels will drop. Nerve signaling will stop, so the heart cannot beat. Blood calcium levels will remain in the normal range because calcium is released from the bone to the blood.arrow_forwardIndicate of the statements are TRUE or FALSE. Statements TRUE FALSE Production of blood cells is NOT a function of skeletal system. Thyroid hormone may produce either osteogenesis or osteolysis. Bone matrix is composed primarily of Calcium and Magnesium which maybe withdrawn in small amounts as needed elsewhere in the body. Remodelling of bone is a function of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. A combination of the hormone, adrenal cortisol, and the bone cell, osteoclast, may result in osteoporosis. The addition of bone to its outer surface resulting in growth in diameter is called apposional growth. Once an individual reaches skeletal maturity, the bones undergo years of metabolic rest. Mitosis resulting in elongation of bone occurs at the articular cartilage. Most bones of the body are formed by intramembranous ossification.arrow_forwardWhich of the following components found in the bone matrix make bone hard? calcium collagen phosphorus vitamin D desmosomesarrow_forward
