CALCUIM normal level is 8.5-10. We need calcium for bone and teeth formation. We also must have calcium for blood coagulation. If we do not have calcium we will die. The bottom line here “we will die”. I am not kidding. Calcium is used for blood coagulation if we don’t have calcium we will not clot.
Another form that calcium is very important is muscle contraction. If we don’t have calcium we will die as I said before because our muscle will not contract nerve impulses will not occur. We will die.
How the calcium helps the heart to work? In our heart we have a fiber known as actin-myosin fiber (they live one top to the other). The filament theory they slide one top to another that is why every time it happens that’s the time the heart contracts.
However, in order for the actin-myosin fiber to slide one another and the heart to contract we must have a molecule of calcium that floats through that stimulate the contraction. If we do not have the molecule of calcium floating through we don’t get the neural impulse, we don’t get the heart to contract. We will die. Very simple.
