Elongation of bones is accomplished via ___ growth

Growth in the epiphyseal plate adds to the ___ of a bone until the plate is depleted in early adulthood

The ____ is a layer of hyaline cartilage with a metaphysis on each side

When the cartilage is depleted, the epiphyseal plates ___, and the bone can not grow longer

The internal mark in the bone left behind by the closed epiphyseal plate is called the ____

Each of the following complications listed below is a result of homeostatic calcium imbalance. Which would not be life threatening?

Which hormone inhibits osteoclasts and stimulates osteoblasts to lower blood calcium levels?

The most active form of ___ is called calcitriol

Osteoblast activity in children is stimulated by the hormone ____

When blood calcium levels drop, glands embedded in the posterior thyroid secrete ____ hormone, which stimulates osteoclastic activity

When When levels of blood calcium increase in children, calcitonin is released from the ___ of the thyroid gland

This circulating calcitonin inhibits ___ and stimulates ____ within minutes

The effect on osteoclasts causes a decrease in bone resorption and a concurrent ____ in bone deposition due to the activity of osteoblasts

The decline in bone breakdown and increased mineralization causes blood calcium to ___ back to normal levels

Parathyroid hormone causes an increase in the number of ____ and greater rates of bone resorption

In the kidney, parathyroid hormone will decrease the amount of calcium excreted by increasing ___ from kidney tubules

Parathyroid hormone increases the renal conversion of ____ , which secondarily works to increase calcium levels in the blood

Inhibition of ___ by parathyroid hormone occurs as a result of a decreased production of organic matrix
