Checkpoints
6-7
• Describe the theorized mechanism that controls then internal organization and structure of bone.
• Why would you expect the bones of a weight lifter to be thicker and heavier than a jogger?
• What happens when bone isn’t stressed for long periods of time?
• Make a chart listing the hormone, its source, and its effects on the skeletal system.
• A 7 year old child has pituitary gland tumor involving the cells that secrete GH, resulting in increased levels of GH. How will this condition affect the child’s growth?
6-8
• Draw a diagram showing how PTH helps increase the calcium ion concentration of blood?
• Draw a diagram showing how calcitonin helps decrease the calcium ion concentration of blood?
