Chapter 14, Problem 1.5T
Summary Introduction
Calcium (Ca) is one of the vital minerals in the body. It regulates muscle contraction, skeletal strength, blood clot, and bone health. Vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium in the body. Extremely increased or decreased amount of calcium in the blood may lead to diseases of bone, thyroid, and kidney. The parathyroid gland regulates the levels of calcium in the blood. The parathyroid hormone increases the calcium level by promoting the reabsorption of calcium from bones.
