Calcium in our body is mostly used up by the bones to reduce the rate of bone loss and other conditions associated with weak or fragile bones. In the presence of vitamin D and phosphorus, calcium absorption rate is increased and all these nutrients together help in proper growth and development of muscles. Let's find out more on what is calcium used for in the body. pretty much calcium is used for making our bones strong not fragile like my Grammy so with out it we would break our bones if we jump up and down

It is not clear what your question really is, but I will make some comments. Unfortunately I will ramble and probably won't actually give you the answer you need.

Calcium is a silvery colored mildly reactive metal that melts at 842C and boils at 1484C. Chemists call it one of the Alkaline Earths.

Calcium in the form of calcium carbonate is the main component of limestone, marble, chalk, bones, teeth, eggshells, and seashells and is the cause of hard water.

Calcium in the form of calcium carbide generates acetylene gas when water is added.

Calcium is an important component in cement and mortar.

Calcium is element number 20 and has six stable isotopes: calcium-40, calcium-42, calcium-43, calcium-44, calcium-46, calcium-48.

Calcium forms 3% of the Earth.

Calcium does not easily capture neutrons, having a crosssection for thermal neutrons of only 0.43 barns.

The Calcium atom is 231 picometers in diameter.
