1
New cards

Stimulus

blood calcium levels decrease

2
New cards

receptor

parathyroid gland cells detect low blood calcium ion level

3
New cards

control center

parathyroid gland cells increase their release of parathyroid hormone into the blood

4
New cards

effector/response

  • parathyroid hormone stimulates osteoclast activity, breaks down the bone for calcium and release it into the blood

  • PTH causes kidneys to retain calcium so the intestines absorb it, increasing blood calcium levels

5
New cards

Return to normal range

parathyroid glands detect the return of the blood calcium ion level to a normal range, cells decrease the release of PTH
