- 1True or false, nervous system becomes more excitable when extracellular Ca2+ levels dropTrue. Causes membranes to become increasingly permeable to Na+
- 2What happens when nervous system becomes hyperexcitableTetanic contractions
HYPOCALAEMIC TETANY - 3What is a classic symptom of hypocalcaemic tetanyTrossaus sign, clenched fist because of muscle contraction
- 4What are the forms of extracellular calcium50% in free unbound form
10% in anion complex (bicarbonate, citrate and phosphate)
40% protein bound (albumin and globulins) = albumin most abundant - 5What makes up filterable calciumfree form and anion form (60%) filterable at kidney
- 6Describe rapidly exchangable pool of calciumRight on surface of bone. Doesn't stay on surface of bone. Moves either from extracellular fluid to bone (bone formation)
OR out of bone to extracellular fluid (bone reabsorption) - 7Role of kidney in Ca2+Filtration and reabsorption
- 60% reabsorbed in kidneys through an active mechanism in proximal tubule
- 30% absorbed paracellularly in loop of henle
- 9% absorbed in distal tubule via an active transcellular mechanism ***most important for regulation
(1-2% excreted) - 8Role of intestines in Ca2+absorption and secretion
- 9Role of bone in ca2+Formation and resorption
- 10Describe the parcellular pathway in the for CA2+ absorption1) Paracellular transport pathway between cells. PASSIVE PATHWAY, MAINLY IN LOWERE GI TRACT (ILEUM
- NO rate limiting step (larger gradient, more absorption) however doesn't work if no gradient (if lumen is below 2.4mm) - 11Describe the trancellular pathway of Ca2+ absorption- Calcium taken into epethelial cells in duodenum, jejunum
- CaBP (Ca2+ binding protein/ vit D metabolites) in cells prevents this free Ca2+ activating any pathways
- released out of cell ca2+ pumps or Na+/Ca2+ (pumps) = RATE OF PUMP E.G. SATURATION = RATE LIMITING STEP
CA2+ MUST MOVE AGAINST CONC GRADIENT = active
- This pathway never stops
- It can be regulated - 12Describe action of parathyroid hormone on kidneysActs on distal tubule to increase ca2+ absorption. Stimulates reabsorption
- Acts directly on kidney to stimulate activity of 1alpha-hydroxilase which catalyses the formation of 1,25 DHCC (hypercalcaemic hormone) - 13Where does bone formation occurSpongey/ trabecular bone because of greater surface area for calcium exchange
- 14Role of osteoclastsLarge multinucleated cells derived from monocytes whose function is to resorb bone. Release enyzmes that dissolve bone to release calcium into extracellular (regulated by plasma calcium)
- 15Role of osteocytesMature bone cells enclosed in bone matrix. Connected to surface cells and each other via canaliculi to allow for nutrient and ion exchange
- 16Role of osteoblastsDifferentiated bone forming cells that secrete organic bone matrix (OSTEOID -made of collagen protein) on which Ca3(PO4)2 precipitates prior to full mineralisation
- 17Structure of bone

- 18What type of cell does parathyroid hormone act on and what is the effectActs on osteoclasts which dissolve bone and increase Ca2+ in blood
(bone resorption) - 19Non-Hormonal method of regulation of extracellular Ca2+ concRapidly exchangeable pool, fast but limited so not used
- 20Which 3 hormones are used to regulate calcium1) Parathyroid hormone
2) 1, 25 dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25 DHCC) VitaminD metabolite - VitD = cholecaliferol
3) Calcitonin - 21Describe synthesis of parathyroid hormoneChief cells in parathyroid gland (behind thyroid) synthesize parathyroid hormone
Peptide hormone = transcribed into INACTIVE preprohormone
cleavage of prosequence to make active form
Increases plasma calcium
Stimulus for release is a decrease in calcium levels - 22Mechanisms of action of Parathyroid on bone- Acts directly on bone to stimulate Ca2+ (increases osteoclast number and activity)
- Decreases collagen synthesis by osteoblasts (i.e. decreases bone formation)
Increased net transfer of Ca2+ into plasma - 23Affect of parathyroid hormone on GI tractNO DIRECT EFFECT ON CA2+ ABSORPTION
Indirect effect by stimulating 1,25 DHCC (in kidney) which does increase Ca2+ in kidney - 24ArthritisInflammation of the foot
- 25Arthralgia Arthopathy RheumatismInflammation of joint
Joint pain
Joint problem - 26Inflammatory arthritis (Rheumatoid)Rheumatoid
Immune
Can genetic or environmental - 27Properties of DHCC- DHCC is similar structure to DHCC
- From diet (oily fish)
- Produced in skin by action of UV light from the BASE MOLECULE IS (2/3)rd produced via this method
CHOLESTEROL (similar to all steroid hormones) - 28Production of DHCCConverted from Vitamin D3
Goes to hepatic circulation
Hydroxyl group added to 25carbon
Goes to kidneys where 1 - alpha hydroxylase*** adds carbon to 1 position
makes 1,25DHCC
Stimulated by parathyroid horomone - 29Mechanism of action of DHCCInduces the production of intracellular calcium binding proteins (CaBP) which sequester Ca2+ thereby buffering the high intracellular Ca2+ that arise during initial absorption. They allow Ca2+ to be absorbed against a high Ca2+ gradient
- Minor effect on kidneys by increasing calcium reabsorption in distal tubule
- In bone, promotes the action of parathyroid hormone - 30DHCC similar properties to steroid hormones- based off cholesterol
- increases protein expression - 31Calcitonin properties- Only hypocalcaemic hormone we have
- synthesised and secreated by c cells in parathyroid gland (parafollicular cells)
- stimulated by hypercalcaemia
- Physiological antagonist to parathyroid hormone
- Not that important for overall calcium balance (chronic excess of calcitonin does not cause hypocalcaemia and removal of parafollicular cells doesnt cause hypercalcaemia) - 32Action of calcitonin- Main target is the osteoclasts (cell type for bone resorption)
- Calcitonin inhibits this process (prevents bone resorption)
- No effect on kidneys
- Weak effect on kidneys (decreases tubular reabsorption) - 33Osteoporosis- reduced bone density and mass
- equal loss of mineral and organic matrix
- increase risk of fractures
- Equilibrium shifts to bone resorption
- either too much resorption or too little formation
- female = major risk factor
- testosterone deficiency and steroid use are also risk factors
(bone present = biochemically normal) - 34Effect of oestrogen on osteoporosisOestrogen is a potent stimulator of bone formation
post menopause, oestrogen levels decline and then osteoporosis develops - 35Treatment of osteoporosisReplace sex steroids (adrogens in menopause)
Calcium and vitamin D in diet
Exercise - 36Osteomalacia (adults) and Rickets- Biochemically distinct from osteoporosis
- Inadequate mineralisation of new bone = ratio of MINERAL TO ORGANIC MATRIX is lower than normal = too much organic phase and not enough mineral phase
- Symptoms = bowed legs because of weight of torso - 37Cause of Rickets/ Ostoemalacia- Commonly caused by deficiency in vitamin D (hypocalaemic)
inability of 1,25 DHCC to act on target tissue e.g. vitamin D-dependent rickets type ii (despite high levels of 1,25 in blood)
cannot convert vit D to 1,25 DHCC - 38Treatment of rickets/ osteomalaciavit d analogs
dietary calcium - 39Hypercalaemia- May be present without other symptoms (mild)
- Moderate to sever = symptoms of neuromuscular supression
- symptoms include kidney stones, dehydration (calcium urea), weight loss, nausea, vomiting and fatigue - 40Primary hypercalcaemia- Most common cause of mild hypercalcaemia
- Ca2+ homeostatic loss due to excessive PTH secretion
May be from benign parathyroid tumour or hyperplastic parathyroid tissue (bigger thyroid than normal)
- Combined effect of PTH induced bone resorption, intestinal Ca2+ and renal tubular reabsorption
- increased PTH = increased 1,25 DHCC - 41What is the result of primary hyperthyroidsimDeposition of Ca2+ in heart, lung + soft tissue
= Stone formation - 42Treatment of hypercalcaemia- Antiresoptive agents
- Salmon calcitonin = more potent that calcitonin (prevents absorption)
- Surgery to remove tumour or plastic tissue - 43True or false, patients with severe hypercalcaemia have cancerTrue
Malignant cells in bone cause destruction of gone and release Ca2+
local osteolytic hypercalcaemia = tumour secretes factors that activate osteoclasts that dissolve bone
Sometimes metasteses not in bone synthesis
Sign is in blood levels of PTH are low - 44Difference between malignant disease and primary hypercalcaemia?Malignant disease = lower blood levels of PTHY
- 45Other causes of Hypercalcaemia- Vitamin D-Dependent hypercalcaemia due to overdose (too much 1,25DHCC)
- Hyperthyroidism = increase bone turnover (osteoclast activity, usually asymptomatic)
- Acromegaly = stimulation of 1alpha hydroxylase in kidney by elevated levels of growth hormone
- Milk ingestion (Ca2+ - containing antacids) - 46Hypercalcaemic Crisis- End stage of hypercalcaemia
- May lead to coma and death, associated with malignancy
- Usually dehydrated (due to kidneys trying to secrete calcium) - 47HypocalcaemiaInadequate response of PTH-vitamin D axis to hypocalcaemic stimuli
- NOT due to calcitonin
- results in neuromuscular excitability - 48Causes of hypocalcaemia?Hypoparathyroidsm (HPT)
1) PTH-deficient HPT 1 reduced or absent synthesis of PTH = Low levels of PTH results in low 1,25 DHCC
2) PTH - ineffective HPT = biologically inactive PTH produced
3) PTH - resistant HPT = PTH produced is not recognised by target tissue (pseudohypothyroidism)
4) Seocndary hyperparathyroidsism = malabsorption of vit D in tract = low 1,25DHCC, decrease in plasma Ca2+ stmulates PTH - 49How is hypercalcaemia treated- Ca2+ (for malabsorption in GI tract) and Calcitirol long term

- In practice, Vit D conc determined by levels of DHCC - 51What does primary hyperthyroidism look like on a graph- Hypercalcaemic = Ca2+ blood levels are high
- High PTH = due to excessive secreton
This leads to high levels of 1,25 DHCC - 52What does non PTH - Hypercalcaemia look like- Low levels of parathyroid hormone
- High levels of Ca2+ (hypercalcaemic) moderate to severe
- Due to malignant disease
- Vit D overdose

Low levels of Ca2+ (hypcalcaemic)
- Biologically active PTH but receptors dont respone
- Also due to vit D deficiency (OSTEOMALACIA/ RICKETS) - 55Calcitonin pathophysiologyE.g. due to tumours of parafollicular cells producing excess = hypercalcitonaemia
