Here are some additional interesting facts about mineral salts:

Calcium: Besides its role in skeletal development, calcium is also involved in blood clotting and helps regulate muscle contraction and nerve excitability.

Phosphorus: This mineral is vital for the formation of not only the skeletal structure but also teeth, muscles, and blood.

Potassium: Apart from supporting growth, potassium helps maintain normal body function and controls osmotic pressure. Deficiency can lead to nervous disorders and irregular heartbeats.

Sodium: Regulating osmotic pressure, sodium is crucial for preventing nervous disorders. Common salt (sodium chloride) is the primary source of sodium.

Magnesium: Known as an activator of many enzymes, magnesium plays a role in controlling intestinal peptidase and bone phosphatase actions.

Iron: Essential for hemoglobin and chromatin formation, iron deficiency can lead to anemia. Meat and green vegetables are significant sources.

Sulphur: An essential component of proteins, sulphur is found in amino acids like cystine and methionine, contributing to the formation of feathers and bird eggs.

Copper: A crucial component of hemocyanin in arthropods and mollusks, copper deficiency can cause nutritional anemia, especially in cattle.

Cobalt: A constituent of vitamin Bp, cobalt aids in blood production.

Zinc: Present in red blood cells, zinc plays a role in converting carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water.

Iodine: Essential for the formation of thyroxine hormone, iodine deficiency can lead to simple goitre. Drinking water and seafood are chief iodine sources.

Chlorine: Present in the body as chloride ions, chlorine helps maintain acid-base and water balance.
