The cells in your body make up your body's structure, and consumes nutrients and converts them accordingly. They make up all living things and carry genetic material passed down through generations. Each cell contains mitochondria, cytoplasm, mitochondria, ribosomes, and a nucleus, as well as a plasma membrane, cytoskeleton, lysosomes, and Golgi apparatus. The cell membrane is made of plasma and acts as a protective barrier for the cell, which manages the movement of substances that come in and out of the cell and takes in transmissions from other cells. The membrane also acts as a receptor in between cells and allows it to move, secrete, and absorb nutrients.

Calcium helps our cells and is necessary for the activation of enzymes and transporting ion across the cell membrane. It also permits the cell to send and receive neurotransmitters between cells. The presence of calcium ensures the signals between cells are accurate and neurotransmitters release neurons. It is stored in the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum parts of the cell where it is released when needed by the body.
