Ans. A. Ionized calciumThere is approximately 1 kg of calcium in the human body. About 99% exists in the bone and 1% in the extra cellular fluid. Plasma calcium exists in 3 forms:a. Complexed with organic acidsb. Protein boundc. IonizedThe ionized calcium which is maintained at a concentration between 1.1 and 1.3 mmol/L is biologically the most active fraction.

A marked elevation may result in death owing to muscle paralysis and coma.
