Calcium metabolism Calcium metabolism Calcium metabolism refers to the movements and regulation of calcium ions (Ca) "in" and "out" of various body compartments, such as the gastrointestinal tract, the blood plasma, the extracellular and intracellular fluids, and bone tissue. An important aspect of calcium metabolism is plasma calcium homeostasis, the regulation of calcium ions in the blood plasma within narrow limits. In this process, bone tissue acts as a calcium storage center for deposits and withdrawals as needed by the blood, via continual bone remodeling. Derangement of this mechanism leads to hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia, both of which can have consequences for health.
Symbol table global scope, whether it is imported, and what namespace it belongs to. Some programming languages allow the symbol table to be manipulated at run-time, so that symbols can be added at any time. Racket is an example of such a language. Both the LISP and the Scheme programming languages allow arbitrary, generic properties to be associated with each symbol. The Prolog programming language is essentially a symbol-table manipulation language; symbols are called "atoms", and the relationships between symbols can be reasoned over. Similarly, OpenCog provides a dynamic symbol table, called the "atomspace", which is used for knowledge representation. Symbol table
