In the evening Mozart took a turn for the worse, and his doctor, Thomas Closset, was summoned from the theater but sent word that he would come once the show was over. When he arrived, he ordered cold compresses applied to Mozartâs head, which witnesses said caused the patient to shudder.
Calcium plays a very important role in bone remodeling. In this process bone is deposited by osteoblasts and resorption is carried out by osteoclasts. In the bone deposition process bone is created by calcium and phosphate ions binding to create hydroxyapatite crystals.
If blood calcium levels are too low, the body will break down bone and teeth to increase the blood calcium levels. If the blood levels are high, then the body uses the extra calcium to rebuild bone and teeth. The important functions of calcium in the body are too numerous to list entirely in this article. Calcium can bind to phosphate in the digestive system (preventing the phosphate from being absorbed), and it is sometimes used to help prevent or treat high phosphate levels in people with kidney disease.
