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

Normal level:
9.0-10.5
mg/dL Functions:
Bone strength and density, enzyme activation,
skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction, nerve
impulse transmission, blood clotting
Major location (e.g., ICF or ECF):
ECF—in both bound and unbound form; majority is
bound to albumin and not active; unbound or free
calcium is ionized; free calcium is the active form
Mechanism(s) to maintain electrolyte
homeostasis: Absorbed in intestine
Excreted in urine
Levels regulated by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and
thyrocalcitonin (TCT)
PTH increases serum calcium
TCT decreases serum calcium

Mechanism(s) of electrolyte hemeostasis
Your Answer:
Normal Level:2.7-4.5
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
