Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in the vertebrate body and, besides constituting a major portion of the skeletal structure, is known to exert a considerable influence in the normal behavior of certain of the soft tissues. Its relationship to the function of the parathyroid glands, and vitamin D and its role in certain pathological conditions such as arteriosclerosis and neuro-muscular disorders have been recognized and extensively studied.
