What would happen if your bones didn't store calcium?

Answer 1

If you don't have enough Calcium E: Milk you will have weak bones and they will easily break, and will cause Calcium deficiency will lead to weak bones.

you develop weak bone deficiency (also known as Rickets syndrome) and this can lead to diseases related to the lack of Calcium.

Answer 2

Especially in women, the lack of calcium will compromise the density of your bones, causing them to become more brittle and would easier to break. A lot of older women get a condition called osteoporosis, which is a bone density condition due to the lack of calcium. There are, however, multiple treatments on the market for this condition. You can get more calcium by drinking milk, eating yogurt or taking vitamin supplements with calcium.

To add to this answer it would also make your nails go white from the lack of calcium because the cells need calcium also as a form of energy and the cells are not reaching the nail alive to form them so it sort of kills your nail plate. Also, your teeth will get brittle and be easily breakable.

Lack of calcium can lead to bone spurs. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body but may also be the most deficient. The amount of calcium that we absorb from our food varies widely. Our age is one factor. An adolescent may absorb up to 75% of the calcium obtained from foods, while in adults the maximum absorption rate ranges from 20% to 30%.

Even though our bones feel solid and seem permanent they're just like any other body tissue - they're constantly being broken down and formed again. In an adult, 20 percent of bone calcium is withdrawn from bones and replaced each year. Thus, every five years the bones are renewed.

Calcium is found in the extra cellular fluids and soft tissues of the body where it is vital to normal cell functioning. Much of the calcium in soft tissues is concentrated in muscle, although it is contained in the membrane and cytoplasm of every cell.

When the body is deficient of calcium it begins to leach calcium from the bones. In many people this happens to be in the heel of the foot or some other weak area of the body. As the calcium is being leached, it forms an eruption (similar to a volcano). This eruption is the bone spur.

Answer 3

If you do not have enough calcium your bones will weaken and you can eventually get osteoporosis, a condition whereby bones become brittle, especially for the elderly. If the bones become brittle enough, something as small as a sneeze could result in a broken bone.

Your bones can degrade because they are always breaking down and building up on a cellular level. Bones are made of calcium and if they are only breaking down and not building up, they get weak and prone to fracture.

A lack of calcium can also cause your muscles to cramp up. Your nerves can get frazzled without the calming effect of calcium.

Not having enough calcium can hinder the development of strong bones and teeth in children.

If taking supplemental calcium, it is important take calcium with the vitamins and minerals (not just Vitamin D) that are necessary for calcium to work properly in your body. Otherwise, supplemental calcium can have detrimental effects on other organs in the body. Getting calcium from foods is the best way to assure the body gets the calcium it needs.

Answer 4

Leaving aside the fact that you need bones to breathe (without the rigid structure of the rib cage, you wouldn't be able to inflate your lungs), the 2% or so of calcium in your body that isn't in your bones is vital to the proper operation of your muscles, including your heart.

Answer 5

A person who lacks calcium can experience muscle stiffness, tremors, and twitching. The medical term for a person who is lacking calcium is hypocalcemia.

Answer 6

you would lack calcium and your bones would refract and break and bend

Answer 7

You could devolp osteoporosis

Answer 8

Calcium is used to strengthen bones and teeth, If the body lacks calcium it can lead to brittle bones, possibly disease..

Answer 9

Our bones would become very weak and we probably wouldn't be able to lift anything
