Students have asked these similar questions
Calcium is involved in all the following functions EXCEPT:
Calcium provides energy for cells.
Calcium is necessary for muscle contraction and relaxation.
Calcium is necessary for nerve functioning.
Calcium is necessary for blood clotting.
What will happen if you do not consume enough calcium on a particular day?
If an injury occurs, the blood will not appropriately clot.
Blood calcium levels will drop.
Nerve signaling will stop, so the heart cannot beat.
Blood calcium levels will remain in the normal range because calcium is released from the bone to the blood.
Although your body systems interact to keep you healthy, sometimes problems can prevent them from working properly. Choose any disorder or disease (contagious, inherited, age-related, or otherwise) and describe how it can disrupt the human body’s normal function, including the systems, organs, cells, molecules, and/or processes involved.
