Nerve Transmission

Calcium is essential for nerve impulse transmission by enabling neurotransmitter release, which supports communication between nerve cells. This process is crucial for cognitive function, muscle control, and overall nervous system health.

Calcium plays a crucial role in nerve impulse transmission. It facilitates the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, the junction between nerve cells. This release allows for the propagation of electrical signals along nerve pathways. Adequate calcium levels are therefore essential for effective communication between neurons, supporting cognitive function, muscle control, and overall nervous system health.
