So that the nervous and muscular systems can function properly. Calcium is essential to life, and is used primarily for three things: intracellular cell signaling, muscle cell contraction and nerve cell activity.
Your question needs context. Why is calcium so important to what?
calcium is an antacid so people may be tempted to dump it in in order to control the PH But if so it will crystalize out of the water and into some place you don't want it like inside your pool pump
In order to lower your calcium levels in your body you can do a few things. Calcium is used by muscles in the human body so you can exercise and utilize some of the calcium which you have building up. You can also lower the amount of calcium you get per day and increase your fluids. Also talk to your DR. about meds that lower calcium levels such as loop diuretics, and corticosteroids.
Bones have got very large reserve of calcium. So under the influence of calcitonin hormone and parathyroid hormone, the blood calcium level is maintained in very narrow range. Vitamin D is important for absorption of the calcium and also plays some role in maintaining the blood calcium level.
Many minerals like magnesium and calcium are important to the regulation of the nervous and cardiac system so that increased ion levels will cause nervous dysfunction, cardiac arrithymia and are fatal. The body controls ion levels through renal clearance and via excretion via the digestive tract. The other ions that have some function in trace amounts usually cause health problems because other minerals at higher concentrations either bind calcium, iron and sodium or mimic their actions.
bone resorption is important for bone re modelling It is also important for maintenance of the right proportion of blood calcium levels.
Vinegar is acidic and acid is the enemy of calcium(that's why sodas are harmful to our bodys calcium levels). That's why the shell rubs off so easily
It helps your bone stronger and so you can have more FUN!!!!!!!
I think is down-regulation because a decrease in receptors will occur so less hormone can bind the cell.
The fetus needs calcium for its bones so fetus has its calcium from his mum during pregnancy so that most people say to the women who are pregnant to drink a lot of milk cause it contains calcium
Calcium plays an important role in strengthening bones and teeth. Thus it is especially important for children whose bones are growing and the elderly who may experience a loss of bone density due to loss of calcium.
Calcium is an important part of our diets. It's found in dairy products, sardines, bread, watercress and cabbage. It is required for healthy bone structure as well as nerve function and muscle contraction. If calcium is not obtained in a diet, rickets and soft bones are the deficiency diseases. This is why calcium is so important.
