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
