,All of the following are roles for phosphorus except: - Answer regulating calcium flux
across voltage-gated channels
True or False: As we age, we absorb more and more calcium in the intestinal tract. -
Answer False
True or False: Blood calcium is tightly regulated by several endocrine factors. - Answer
TRUE
Calcitriol can stimulate the absorption of calcium from the intestines by regulating
_____and related proteins. - Answer Calbindin
True or False: High calcium intake is associated with hypertension. - Answer False
True or False: High dietary intakes of phosphorus results in high serum levels which
results in high urinary excretion of phosphorus. - Answer TRUE
True or False: In general, about 9 out of 10 American adults meet or exceed their
adequate intake for calcium. - Answer False
In muscle contraction, calcium will bind to this protein to initiate the process. - Answer
Troponin
True/False: Low blood calcium levels are associated with irritability of nervous tissue,
including the central nervous system and skeletal muscle cramping. - Answer True
True or False: Low blood calcium levels will stimulate the production of calcitonin in
order to raise blood calcium levels by increasing calcium absorption by the small
intestine. - Answer False
One of the following is NOT a function and mechanism of action of phosphorus - Answer
Decarboxylation reactions
Oyster shell calcium supplements are a risk for _______ _____________. - Answer lead
contamination
Paracellular absorption of calcium: - Answer relies on transmembrane proteins called
claudins
True or False: Phosphorus found in legumes is in the form of phytic acid rendering it less
bioavailable because humans lack the enzyme phytase needed to digest it. - Answer
TRUE
Phosphorus is a component of high-energy molecules such as ATP - Answer TRUE
Regardless of the dietary form, most phosphorus is absorbed from the gastrointestinal
tract as organic phosphate. - Answer False
True or False: The presence of bile acids may assist in calcium absorption by promoting
proper fat digestion and decreasing the formation of calcium-fatty acid soaps. - Answer
, TRUE

- Answer TRUE
True or False: The risk of development of osteoporosis in men over the age of 50 years
is higher than in women of the same age. - Answer False

block the ability of the receptor to bind to the promoter of a gene, thereby blocking
proteins that sequester calcium and keeping it from being synthesized. - Answer False
These group of individuals may have a higher risk of phosphorus deficiency due to their
higher needs for the mineral and the insufficient amount found in the human breast milk.
- Answer premature infants
True or False: Trabecular bone is more metabolically active, with a high turnover rate,
and thus can be more rapidly depleted of calcium with poor calcium intake than is
cortical bone, making the former more susceptible to osteoporosis. - Answer TRUE
