3. calcium:
One of the most important elements found in the body.
Structural component in bone and teeth. .
99% stored in the bone
The average content of calcium in adults is 1 kg
6. 1. Active form of vitamin D
Found two types from vitamin D:
vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol)
vitamin D3 ( cholecalciferol)
Found two sources for vitamin D in human body:
From Diet.
From Dermal synthesis of vitamin D from cholesterol is dependent on
sun light (specifically UVB radiation).
Vitamin D from the diet or dermal synthesis form's sun light is biologically
inactive
activation requires enzymatic conversion (hydroxylation) in the liver and
kidney and activation by parathyroid hormone.
The active form of vitamin D absorption calcium from intestine.
7.
8. 2. Parathyroid hormone
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a hormone
secreted by the parathyroid glands.
increase of Calcium concentration in plasma
by:
1. Activation of vitamin Dз synthesis and
increase of absorption in the intestine
14. metabolic disorder with excessive secretion of
Parathyroid hormone (PTH).
can be characterized into primary, secondary, and
tertiary.
Resulting in high levels of calcium in the blood
(hypercalcemia), which can cause a variety of
health problems.
causing bone furcating and bone pain.
Hyperparathyroidism
15. deficiency or absence of PTH
secretion.
metabolic disorder characterized by
low serum calcium.
Causes decrease in effective vitamin
D in body.
Hypo parathyroidism
