In this video I describe in physiological detail how PTH effects calcium and phosphate regulation in the body. I also discuss it's effect on muscles in terms of generating clinical signs such as Trousseau's and Chvostek's signs. At the end of the video I present two questions for you to work through and that I explain as well.
