What Regulates Blood Calcium Levels?
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium promotes normal muscle contraction and blood vessel contraction and expansion. It is essential for transmitting electrical impulses throughout the nervous system and secretion of enzymes and hormones. According to the National Institute of Health Office of Dietary Supplements, 99 percent of calcium in the body is stored in the bones and teeth. Calcium levels are regulated by the parathyroid gland and vitamin D.
