yes

Answer 3

is the answer B?

Answer 4

Estrogen is probably the most widely known and discussed of all hormones. The term "estrogen" actually refers to any of a group of chemically similar hormones; estrogenic hormones are sometimes mistakenly referred to as exclusively female hormones when in fact both men and women produce them. However, the role estrogen plays in men is not entirely clear.

To understand the roles estrogens play in women, it is important to understand something about hormones in general. Hormones are vital chemical substances in humans and animals. Often referred to as "chemical messengers," hormones carry information and instructions from one group of cells to another. In the human body, hormones influence almost every cell, organ and function. They regulate our growth, development, metabolism, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, the way our bodies use food, the reaction of our bodies to emergencies and even our moods.

Answer 5

but that doesn't tell me if bone and calcium levels in the blood would increase or decreased

Answer 9

You need this checked?

Answer 10

yeah

Answer 11

okay it;s either B or D

Answer 12

Well either B or D

Answer 13

O.m.g Lol you already said that r.i.p

I'd go with D as my best choice.

Answer 14

haha okay. i ASSUME that if your more likely to break your bones if calcium levels are low right ?

Answer 15

Alright.


Lol is that a new question? ;3

Answer 16

lol thank you i got it .

Answer 17

wait actually I'd go with B.

Answer 18

how come?

Answer 19

bone density is the measurement of the amount of calcium and other minerals in a segment of bone, so if there is a decrease in calcium in the blood wouldn't that lower the bone density ?

Answer 20

Wait I'm confused, you're posting new questions or their all in one? x3

Answer 21

this isn't a "new" question, i'm just trying to get confirmation and explain why i think it's now D

Answer 22

No D wouldn't actually make sense in this case.

B would be right actualy.



Sorry I'm glitching ;~; I can't see some of the replies

Answer 23

Sorry but can you explain why?

Answer 24

Well because, those cells (osteoclasts), they crash your bones to increase calcium in your blood.

Answer 25

Which makes me think the right answer would be C.

@word2 you understand this? ;3

Answer 26

i thought i did but now i am lost

Answer 27

I'm not sure why you think it's B tho o.O

Answer 28

no i thinks D.

Answer 29

What makes you think so?

Answer 30

I'm still going with C since your cells (osteoclasts) go to your bones which decrease your bone density because they crash it for your calcium which then they increase your calcium in your blood .-.

Answer 31

Maybe I'm that stupid xP

@AaronAndyson may you pleazee look at this .-.

Answer 32

My fluttering god the wrong person @aaronq come'ere jeez

Answer 33

osteoclasts break down your bones (made from calcium phosphate) and it would increase the \([Ca^{2+}]\) in your blood. so i agree with @AloneS that it is C

Answer 34

Oh whew at least I got this one right cx

Answer 35

so smrt :P

Answer 36

wow i was so wrong

Answer 37
