I know there are many other diseases and things that will take the calcium from the bones. But the only one I am very familiar with is hyperparathyroidism. Its basically a problem with the parathyroid gland. It takes calcium out of the bones and puts more into the blood. Thus causing weak bones. Im going to the doctor to get tested for this soon.

∙ 12y agoCalcium is the most abundant mineral in your entire body. Like most nutrients, we get calcium from the food we eat and the beverages we drink. Milk is high in calcium and so is many types of food.
Calcium goes through the digestive system and is absorbed into the blood and is later stored in your bones as well as ECF (extracellular fluid). Too much calcium is a problem and so is too little calcium. It's all about your diet.

When a muscle cell responds to a stimulus calcium is released from the?
Sarcoplasmic reticulum stores and releases calcium ions within striated skeletal muscles.
What are the ions like in calcium bromide?
Calcium ions have a charge of plus two, and bromine ions have a charge of minus one.
Is calcium chloride a sulfite?
No, calcium chloride is CaCl2 containing calcium ions (Ca2+) and chloride ions (Cl-). A sulfite must contain sulfite ions (SO32-)
In what ratio do calcium and hydroxide ions combine?
One Calcium ion to 2 hydroxide ions.
How many ions of calcium present in 40 grams of calcium carbonate?
9.03x10 23 ions
What is the symbol for the ions in calcium sulphide?
The chemical formula of calcium sulfide is CaS; the ions are Ca2+ and S2-.
What ions are present in what ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride?
The ions are: Ca2+ and Cl-; the ratio chloride ions/calcium ions is 2.
What are the ions for calcium fluoride?
The individual ions for calcium fluoride have the formulas Ca+2 and F-1 respectively. That means that in any sample of calcium fluoride, there must be twice as many of the fluoride ions.
Which substance is stored in the muscle's endoplasmic reticulum and then released when a nerve signal stimulates a muscle fiber?
Calcium ions
Name the neuromuscular transmitter that is released at the axon bulb?
acetylcholine
