Where is calcium stored?
Calcium is largely stored in bones. In cells, it is stored in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the storage form of glucose in the human body?
The human body stores excess glucose as glycogen. The storage areas for glycogen are limited, therefore any carbohydrates that are consumed beyond that capacity is stored as fat, of which the body can store an unlimited amount.
Where are excess nutrients stored in the body?
Excess nutrients are stored as fat and glycogen. There is no storage form of a similar nature for protein, but fasting mobilizes amino acids from muscle that would later be replenished or rebuilt over time. Similarly bone will leach calcium and minerals but that deficit creates a 'debt' to those tissues that the body will try to repay when concentrations of precursors rise again.
Where is calcium stored in the muscle?
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is known for its storage of calcium ions in muscle cells.
How is excess sugar stored within muscle fibers?
It is stored as GLYCOGEN, not glucose.
Does insulin increase blood pressure glucose or calcium?
Insulin takes glucose from the blood and converts it glycogen that can be stored in the liver and muscles.Insulin can increase blood pressure in a reaction called metabolic syndrome. It decreases glucose and developing studies show that developing diabetes may increase calcium levels which can affect artery calcium deposits. These deposits are associated with high blood pressure.
If you eliminated all sources of calcium from your diet the levels of what would rise in an attempt to supply stored calcium to the body tissues that need it?
Parathyroid Hormone.
Excess carbohydrates are stored in humans as?
Excess carbohydrates are stored as fat.

Where is calcium in your body?
Calcium is stored in your bones
What form are excess carbohydrates stored as in animals?
Excess carbs and calories are stored as fat.
What hormone controls levels of calcium in blood and helps maintain balance of phosphorus?
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), released by the parathyroid gland; and calcitonin, released by the thyroid gland, control the levels of phosphorus in the body. Most of the phosphorus in the body is stored in the form of phosphate (PO4) attached to calcium in the skeletal systems to form calcium phosphate [Ca3(PO4)2]. When PTH is released, excess phosphate is released into the urine and calcium is released from the skeletal system into the bloodstream. The calcitonin plays its part by helping form calcium phosphate molecules, where they become part of a mineral matrix in the bone. Because of the relationship between PTH and calcitonin, calcium and phosphate maintain proportionally inverse levels in the blood.
Where does glucose and calcium enter the blood?
All nutrients we have taken are absorbed into the blood in the small intestine. The excess are stored in the liver from where if required is again absorbed into the blood.
