Study Notes
Major Components of Body Molecules
- Essential elements include Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), and Sulfur (S).
- These elements are primarily acquired through the intake of macronutrients: water, fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Nutritionally Important Minerals
- Key minerals vital for various bodily functions:
- Calcium (Ca) - crucial for bone health and muscle function.
- Phosphorus (P) - important for energy production and cellular function.
- Magnesium (Mg) - involved in over 300 biochemical reactions including muscle and nerve function.
- Sodium (Na) - essential for fluid balance and nerve transmission.
- Potassium (K) - important for heart health and muscle contraction.
- Chloride (Cl) - necessary for maintaining electrolyte balance and digestive health.
