Document Summary
Major: calcium, chloride, magnesium o o o o. Possible essential mineral: arsenic, boron, lithium, nickel o. Nutrition chapter 9 study guide: vanadium. Electrolytes: minerals that have a positive or negative electrical charge when dissolved in water. Cofactor: an ion or small molecule that helps speed up the rate of chemical reactions. Bioavailablity: the tract"s ability to absorb and use mineral nutrients: depends on: Fluorosis: excess fluoride builds up in bones, causing joint stiffness and bone pain. Play a vital role in maintaining normal body fluid balance. Calcium: most plentiful mineral element in the human body. Regulating blood calcium level: vitamin d signals small intestine to absorb calcium o. Parathyroid hormone: signals special bone cells to tear down bone tissue. Calcitonin: hormone that signals another type of bone cell to remove excess calcium from blood and rebuild bone tissue. Sources of calcium: dairy: hypertension (chronic high blood pressure) Systolic pressure: maximum blood pressure within an artery (when heart contracts)
