Questions Related to endocrine system and chemical co-ordination
All are the function of PTH except ______________________.
-
PTH simulates bone reabsorption /dilution /demineralization
-
PTH retards osteoclastic action
-
PTH increases $Ca^{+2}$ abosorption from the digestive tube
-
PTH stimulates reabsorption of $Ca^{+2}$ by the renal tubules
Increase in bleeding time and delay in blood coagulation is due to the deficiency of which hormone?
-
Thyroxine
-
Adrenaline
-
Noradrenaline
-
Parathormone
- In humans, four parathyroid glands are present on the back side of the thyroid gland, one pair each in the two lobes of the thyroid gland.
- The parathyroid glands secrete a peptide hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH) or parathormone.
- Parathormone increases the $Ca^{2+}$ levels in the blood.
- Increase in bleeding time and delay in blood coagulation is due to the deficiency of parathormone because its deficiency causes a decrease in blood calcium levels and calcium ion is essential for blood coagulation.
- So, the correct answer is 'Parathormone'.
Which of the following reasons states that parathyroid is hormone is a hypercalcemic hormone?
-
PTH also stimulates reabsorption of Ca2+ by the renal
tubules -
PTH increases Ca2+ absorption from the digested food
-
PTH control the metabolism of carbohydrates,
proteins and fats -
Both A and B
In humans, four parathyroid glands are present on the back side of the thyroid gland, one pair each in the two lobes of the thyroid gland. They secrete a peptide hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH).
PTH increases Ca2+ absorption from the digested food. it also stimulates reabsorption of Ca2+ by the renal tubules.PTH acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption (dissolution/demineralization).
Hence PTH is a hypercalcemic hormone, i.e., it increases the blood Ca2+ levels. Along with TCT(Thyrocalcitonin), it plays a significant role in calcium balance in the body
Parathyroid hormone is:
-
Protein
-
Carboh
-
Lipid
-
Steroid
Which of the following is not associated with parathyroid hormone (PTH)?
-
It promotes release of $Ca^{2+}$ from bone matrix into the blood
-
It stimulates kidney to release calcitriol
-
More PTH is released when blood calcium level rises
-
Hypoparathyroidism result in parathyroid terany
- Parathyroid hormone- It is also known as parathormone or parathyrin.
- It is a secreted by the parathyroid glands.
- Its main function includes bone remodelling by releasing more PTH when the calcium in our blood goes too low, which increases the blood calcium level that is released from bones.
- This hormone stimulates calcitriol production in the kidney as it synthesises 1-α hydroxylase and also maintains calcium levels by increasing calcium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract
- Hypoparathyroidism- leads to low levels of calcium in the blood which causes cramps and twitches in muscles or tetany.
- So, the correct answer is 'More PTH is released when blood calcium level rises'.
Which of the following hormones coordinate with each other to maintain ideal blood $Ca$ level?
-
Thyrocalcitonin and glucagon
-
Parathyroid hormone and cortisol
-
Thyrocalcitonin and Thyroxin
-
Thyrocalcitonin and Parathyroid hormone
- In addition, tetraiodothyronine or thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) Thyroid gland also secretes a protein hormone called thyrocalcitonin.
- Thyrocalcitonin(TCT) lowers blood calcium levels. It counters the actions of parathyroid hormone which increases the blood calcium level.
- The parathyroid glands monitor the calcium in the blood 24 hours per day. The four parathyroid glands make more or less parathyroid hormone (PTH) in response to the level of calcium in the blood. When the calcium in our blood goes too low, the parathyroid glands make more PTH in order to increase the blood calcium levels.
- Hence Thyrocalcitonin and Parathyroid hormones coordinate with each other to maintain ideal blood Ca level.
- So, the correct answer is 'Thyrocalcitonin and Parathyroid hormone'.
