Calcium is water soluble, but not fat soluble. It is the fifth most dissolved ion in seawater. On the other hand, fat is soluble into calcium in the body. The calcium will exâ¦tract the fat from food in the digestive system, and they combine to form a foamy substance which is not absorbed by the body, and so the fat will be flushed out.
Studies show that it is about 20 percent of the resting metabolic rate, which is about 1,300 calories a day, not of the total metabolic rate, which is about 2,200 calories a day, so the brain uses roughly 300 calories.
The brain and spinal cord are made up of many cells, including neurons and glial cells. Neurons are cells that send and receive electro-chemical signals to and from the brain and nervous system. There are about 100 billion neurons in the brain. Skin cells live about two or three weeks. Colon cells have it rough: They die off after about four days.
