Overall CaOverall Ca++++ Homeostasis Homeostasis
Serum [Ca++] is determined by the interplay of:
• Intestinal absorption (not synthesized in the body)• Renal excretion • Bone remodeling (bone resorption and formation).
Each component is hormonally regulated.
To maintain Ca++ balance, net intestinal absorption must be exactly balanced by urinary excretion
To maintain Ca++ balance, net intestinal absorption must be exactly balanced by urinary excretion

Overall CaOverall Ca++++ Homeostasis Homeostasis
Positive Ca++ balance
Intestinal Ca++ absorption > urinary excretion Seen in growing children The difference is deposited in the growing bones
Negative Ca++ balance (Ca++ dumping syndrome)
Intestinal Ca++ absorption is < urinary excretion Seen in women during pregnancy or lactation The difference comes from the maternal bones

Physiologic Effects of Altered [CaPhysiologic Effects of Altered [Ca++++] in the Body ] in the Body Fluids Fluids
Even slight increases or decreases of calcium ion in the ECF can cause extreme immediate physiological effects
1. Hypocalcemia:
Causes nervous system excitement and tetany; increased neuronal membrane permeability to sodium ions
Great decrease causes tetany/siezures; increasing excitability in the brain carpopedal spasm
(Hypocalcemic tetany in the hand)

2. Hypercalcemia:
Depresses nervous system and muscle activity
Decreases the QT interval of the heart
Lack of appetite (affect some hormonal actions)
Constipation (depressed contractility of the muscle walls of

Inorganic Phosphate in the PlasmaInorganic Phosphate in the Plasma
Total quantity of inorganic phosphate in blood: ≈ 4 mg/dl (Children > adults)
In two forms: HPO42- & H2PO4
-
Almost all the dietary phosphate is absorbed into the blood from the gut and later excreted in the urine.
Changing the level of phosphate in the extracellular fluid from far below normal to two to three times normal does not cause major immediate effects on the body
PTH increases phosphate excretion by the kidneys

Bone Cell TypesBone Cell Types
1. Osteoblasts: the differentiated bone-forming cells; secrete bone matrix (osteoid) on which Ca++ and PO precipitate.
2. Osteocytes, quiescent osteoblasts enclosed in bone matrix.
3. Osteoclasts: large multinucleated and phagocytic cells derived from monocytes; resorb bone.

Bone and Its Relation to Extracellular Bone and Its Relation to Extracellular Calcium and PhosphateCalcium and Phosphate
99% of the Calcium in our bodies is found in our bones which serve as a reservoir for Ca++ storage.
10% of total adult bone mass turns over each year during remodeling process
During growth, rate of bone formation exceeds resorption and skeletal mass increases.
o Linear growth occurs at epiphyseal plateso Increase in width occurs at periosteum
Once adult bone mass is achieved, equal rates of formation and resorption maintain bone mass until age of about 30 years when rate of resportion begins to exceed formation and bone mass slowly decreases. 14

BoneBone Bone = organic matrix 30% + calcium salts 70% Organic matrix: Mainly collagen fibers (tensile strength), The remainder is a homogeneous gelatinous medium called ground substance
(ECF + proteoglycans)
Calcium salts: Mainly hydroxyapatite crystals (Ca++ + phosphate, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), (compressional
strength) + other ions (magnesium, sodium, potassium, and carbonate ions)

Control of the Rate of Bone Deposition by Bone Control of the Rate of Bone Deposition by Bone "Stress""Stress"
Bone is deposited in proportion to the compressional load that the bone must carry:
Bone stress also determines the shape of bones under certain circumstances (e.g. fractures with angle)
16
o Continual physical stress stimulates osteoblastic deposition and calcification of bone

Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol)
A steroid hormone, role in regulating body levels of calcium and phosphorus, and in mineralization of bone.
Vitamin D itself is not the active substance that actually causes these effects. Instead, vitamin D must first be converted through a succession of reactions in the liver and the kidneys to the final active product,

Hypoparathyroidism Hypoparathyroidism
• Level of calcium in the body fluids decreases (bone usually remains strong due to Decreased bone resorption)

Primary Hyperparathyroidism Primary Hyperparathyroidism • Cause: Tumor of one of the parathyroid glands (F>M; pregnancy and
lactation stimulate the parathyroid glands)
• Leads to extreme osteoclastic activity in the bones elevating ECF [Ca++] depressing [phosphate]
• Cystic bone disease of hyperparathyroidism is called osteitis fibrosa cystica
• Great osteoblastic activity (compensatory); increased alkaline phosphatase34
• Bone disease; radiographs of the bone typically show extensive decalcification and, occasionally, large punched-out cystic areas of the bone that are filled with osteoclasts in the form of so-called giant cell osteoclast.

• Hypercalcemia (up to 12-15 mg/dl ) depression of the central and peripheral nervous systems, muscle weakness, constipation, abdominal pain, peptic ulcer, lack of appetite, and depressed relaxation of the heart during diastole
• Metastatic calcification: calcium phosphate (CaHPO4) crystals begin to deposit in the alveoli of the lungs, the tubules of the kidneys, the thyroid gland, the acid-producing area of the stomach mucosa, and the walls of the arteries throughout the body.
• Parathyroid poisoning calcium in the blood must rise above 17 mg/dl; can lead to death

• Great excretion of Ca++ and PO in urine increases the tendency of precipitation of these crystals in the kidneys – kidney stones
• Calcium oxalate stones – the predominant composition all kidney stones

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
• High levels of PTH occur as a compensation for hypocalcemia
• Causes: Vitamin D deficiency or chronic renal disease in which the damaged kidneys are unable to produce sufficient amounts of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol.

Osteomalacia-"Adult Rickets" Osteomalacia-"Adult Rickets"
Occur as a result of steatorrhea (failure to absorb fat)
"Renal rickets" is a type of osteomalacia that results from prolonged kidney damage. failure of the damaged kidneys to form 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, the active form of vitamin D
Congenital hypophosphatemia (vitamin D-resistant rickets): congenitally reduced reabsorption of phosphates by the renal tubules

Osteoporosis-Decreased Bone Matrix Osteoporosis-Decreased Bone Matrix
The most common of all bone diseases in adults
Diminished organic bone matrix rather than poor bone calcification
Causes:• lack of physical stress on the bones • malnutrition• lack of vitamin C• postmenopausal lack of estrogen secretion (estrogens decrease
the number and activity of osteoclasts)• old age (decrease protein anabolism, decrease GH ….)• Cushing's syndrome (increased glucocorticoids secretion
increase protein catabolism)40
