| iron isotopes | Stable iron atoms that have the same atomic number as the element iron, but differ in atomic weight. Fe-54, 57, and 58 are stable iron isotopes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| isotopes | Atomic species differing in mass number but having the same atomic number. (12 Dec 1998) |
| oxygen isotopes | Stable oxygen atoms that have the same atomic number as the element oxygen, but differ in atomic weight. O-17 and 18 are stable oxygen isotopes. (12 Dec 1998) |

| benzoylpas calcium | 4-Benzamidosalicylic acid calcium salt;an antituberculous agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium | <element> An element taken in through the diet that is essential for a variety of bodily functions, such as neurotransmission, muscle contraction and proper heart function. Imbalances of calcium can lead to many health problems and excess calcium in nerve cells can cause their death. (22 May 1997) |
| calcium-45 | <radiobiology> Most easily available of the radioactive calcium-45 isotopes; beta-emitter with a half-life of 162.7 days; used as a tracer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium-47 | <radiobiology> A radioisotope of calcium with a half-life of 4.54 days, used in the diagnosis of disorders of calcium metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium alginate | A topical haemostatic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium aminosalicylate | The calcium salt of p-aminosalicylic acid, with the same uses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium antagonist | calcium channel-blocking agent |
| calcium ATPase | <enzyme> Usually used of the calcium pumping ATPase present in high concentration as an integral membrane protein of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle. This pump lowers the cytoplasmic calcium level and causes contraction to stop. Normal function of the pump seems to require a local phospholipid environment from which cholesterol is excluded.
