Case Study – Musculoskeletal system 1. Disscuss the role of two electrolytes in musculoskeletal function (175 words) The two electrolytes we have chosen are Calcium and Phosphate. Calcium is the main ion contributing for muscle contraction‚ Calcium flood in and act as a trigger for contraction‚ because as calcium binds to the regulatory protein on act in filaments‚ they change their shape and position on the thin elements‚ (Marieb 2009)‚ The phosphate ion‚ participates in acid base balance‚
