Calcium function in the body are muscle contractions, building
strong bones and teeth, blood clotting, nerve impulse
transmission, regulating heart beat and fluid balance within
cells
Major location of calcium in the body is teeth and bones,
remainder is found in the blood, extracellular fluid, muscles
and other tissues
Mechanisms of electrolyte homeostasis: Calcium releases from
bone is regulated by parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol regulates
the levels of calcium and phosphorus In the blood and helps
maintain a healthy skeletal system. Bone resorption by
osteoclasts releases calcium into the bloodstream, which helps
regulate calcium homeostasis
Functions: combines with calcium, which gives strength to
bones and teeth. Growth of skeleton but also for its
maintenance.It is vital to the fundamental process of
metabolism in the body. Plays an important role on how the
body uses carbohydrates and fats
Major Location: present in every cell of the body.
Most of the phosphorus in the body is found in the
bones and teeth
Mechanisms: Phosphorus containing compounds have
important roles in cell structure, cellular metabolism,
regulation of sub cellular processes, maintenance of acid base
homeostasis and bone mineralization
