8) Emily is pregnant, and the fetus growing inside her is actively building bone. The calcium for the fetal bone deposition is taken from Emily's blood, lowering her normal blood calcium level. What is (are) the hormonal consequence(s) for Emily? Select all that apply. 4 Points Emily's parathyroid gland will produce PTH to bring her calcium level back to homeostasis. Emily's thyroid gland will produce calcitonin to bring her blood calcium level back to normal. TSH is involved. ACTH is involved. There are no hormonal consequences.

Julie is three months pregnant and her obstetrician wants to measure the head size of the fetus to make sure that development is progressing normally What imaging technique most likely be used and why? The hormone calcitonin is released from the thyroid gland in response to elevated calcium ions levels in the blood This hormone is controlled by negative feedback, what effect would calcitonin have on blood calcium ion levels?

Match each function to the appropriate thyroid or parathyroid hormone. One choice will be used twice. HORMONE FUNCTION Causes blood calcium level to increase Parathyroid hormone Causes the deposition of calcium ions in the bones Calcitonin Increases the rate of metabolism Thyroid hormones Triiodothyronine Thyroxine Parathyroid hormones
