Describe how calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, and calcitriol (Vitamin D) work together
to maintain normal blood calcium levels.
Choose an answer
PTH and calcitriol work together to lower calcitonin and PTH both increase blood
1blood calcium by storing it in the kidneys 2calcium levels to promote bone growth
calcitonin and PTH work oppositely to
calcitriol inhibits calcium absorption while
3balance calcium. the three work together to shift
4calcitonin promotes it
calcium into bones, organs and blood

, Describe how your body T cells produce cytokines, which
responds to an infection. stimulate B cells. B cells produce
antibodies.
Identify role of DNA changes Mutations in genes or chromosomal
in congenital abnormalities. abnormalities
How does development Alterations of DNA
disrupts congenital
abnormalities?
Describes factors that (ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause
disrupt homeostasis and n/v or dysrhythmias.
how disruptions affect
wellbeing.
Explain RAAS Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to
release renin
> produce angiotensin I > converts
angiotensin I to angiotensin II >
vasoconstriction > release aldosterone >
kidneys conserve sodium and water >
Result less water lost in urine and blood
