Entry term(s) calcio-40
factor IV
factor IV de la coagulación
Scope note: Elemento básico que se encuentra en casi todos los tejidos. Es miembro de la familia de metales alcalinotérreos, con símbolo Ca, número atómico 20 y peso atómico 40. El calcio es el mineral más abundante del organismo y se combina con el fósforo formando fosfato cálcico en los huesos y los dientes. Es esencial para el funcionamiento normal de los nervios y los músculos e interviene en el proceso de coagulación de la sangre (como factor IV) y en muchos procesos enzimáticos.

Scope note: A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
