What is the element that is needed to build bones?

Calcium is the main element needed to build bones. It helps to form and maintain their structure and strength. Other important elements for bone health include phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin D.


This mineral works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth?

Phosphorus works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth by forming a mineral called hydroxyapatite, which is a key component of bone tissue. Both minerals are essential for bone health and work together to maintain bone strength and density.


Osteoclasts in bone tissue have the effect of raising calcium levels in the blood What?

Osteoclasts break down bone, which will essentially increase the amount of free calcium in the blood stream. Osteoblasts "build" bones from the free calcium in the blood. Calcium is involved in muscle contraction, so if you lack the necessary calcium in your diet, your body will actually break down bone material in order to obtain the necessary calcium for proper muscle function.


What causes calcium build up behind the eyes?

Calcium build-up behind the eyes can be caused by conditions like hypercalcemia (elevated calcium levels in the blood), certain genetic disorders affecting calcium metabolism, or inflammatory diseases like sarcoidosis. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.


What cells build bone tissue?

In bone, there are osteoblasts (cells which build bone) and osteoclasts (cells which break down bone). In the bone marrow and spongy bone, there are hematopoietic cells (cells which make blood). Bone is a type of connective tissue that is made of specialized cells that all work together for a common function. Their cellular and extracellular matrix is what makes bone cells so unique.

What is the role of Phosphorus in the human body?

High levels of phosphorus in blood can occur in people with severe kidney disease or severe dysfunction of their calcium regulation. High phosphate levels in your blood reduce the formation of the active form of vitamin D (calcitriol) in your kidneys, reduce blood calcium, and lead to increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) release by the parathyroid glands. High intakes of phosphorus, as is found in a diet with meats, soft drinks, and other convenience foods, can affect calcium metabolism. Because phosphorus is not as tightly regulated by the body as calcium, phosphate levels in your blood can rise slightly with a high phosphorus diet, especially after meals. If you drink too much soda and you don't eat enough leafy green vegetables and other calcium-rich foods, you are risking your bone health. Potential calcium deficiency symptoms may be more likely when your phosphorus intake is very high. A low calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in your diet increases your risk of hypertension and colon-rectal cancer. Excessively high levels of phosphorus in your blood can combine with calcium to form deposits in soft tissues such as muscle.


Does fish bone contains calcium?

Yes, fish bones contains calciums. Calcification is the process in which calciumsalts build up in soft tissue, causing it to harden.


Explain the difference between leaching and calcification?

Leaching is a process in which minerals are extracted from a solid by dissolving it into a liquid. Calcification is the build up of calcium salts in body tissue.

Does calcium build up cause rheumatoid arthritis?

At present the reason for arthritis is not yet understood. There is however a school of thought that feels thatexcessive calcium can build up in joints and cause arthritis as a result of a deficiency in magnesium. The body requires magnesium to process calcium into the body. So the problem is not so much too much calcium but to little magnesium.

How do dairy products help you maintain heathy bones?

There are differences of opinion on this. Dairy products contain calcium, which helps maintain and build bone mass but also contain a lot of phosphorus which is part of protein. Phosphorus tends to degrade bone mass as the kidneys excrete calcium when protein intake is high. So it's a wash up. Other sources of vegetarian calcium include leafy green vegetables such as collard greens, sesame seeds, tofu. Avoiding excessive protein helps save your bones once you are an adult.
