Document Summary

What are the end results when one is more active than the other: osteoclasts: cuts up the bone (removes tissue around the area and removes some calcium from the bone if blood calcium levels are low) When the calcium in the bloodstream is low, more active: osteoblasts: build bone (lay down bone and increase bone-mineral density) Why is blood calcium so tightly regulated: calcium needed for many bodily functions, vitamin d allows for it to be absorbed into the blood, there is a hormonal control of blood calcium levels. Explain how these have an adverse impact: calcium blood levels will drop causing your body to begin pulling calcium from your reservoir (bones) to get into blood. Calcium is a mineral so it is tough for the body to absorb. Needs more time in the gut for more of it to be absorbed v being absorbed or passing through rapidly. Caffeine and alcohol affect this absorption rate (diuretics)
