    Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, but needs other nutrients in order for it to be absorbed better and use properly. To metabolize calcium the hormones that help in that process are the parathyroid hormone and the modified steroid calcitriol a form of vitamin D, which promote better absorption of the calcium ion into the body’s circulation system and the counter balance protein hormone calcitonin promotes a decrease in circulating calcium. Calcium homeostasis is achieved by three central tissues, the kidney, intestines and bones. The hormonal target for calcium balance in bones is the osteoclast which can mobilize calcium to the body and phalanges by secreting proteolytic enzymes and acid onto the bone matrix in response to stimulation of the parathyroid hormone and…

    Diastolic Heart Failure

    • 1433 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood for the body due to a weakened or damaged heart. The heart's pumping action moves oxygen-rich blood as it travels from the lungs to the left atrium, then on to the left ventricle, which pumps it to the rest of the body. The left ventricle supplies most of the heart's pumping power, so it's larger than the other chambers and essential for normal function. (American Heart Association). In left-sided or left ventricular heart failure, the left side of the heart must work harder to pump the same amount of blood. (American Heart Association). There are two types of left-sided heart failure: systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure. Heart…
