OCCASIONAL CONSTITUENTS OF URINE 385 The phosphates are taken largely in both vegetable and animal are excreted at once; others only after being transformed and incor-porated with the tissues. Calcium and magnesium phosphates form theprincipal earthy constituents of bone, and from the decomposition of theosseous tissue the urine derives a quantity of this salt. The decomposition ofother tissues also furnishes large supplies of phosphorus to the urine, whichphosphorus is supposed, like the sulphur, to be united with oxygen, and thencombined with bases. The quantity is, however, liable to considerablevariation. The earthy phosphates are more abundant after meals, whetherof animal or vegetable food, and are diminished after long fasting. Thealkaline phosphates are increased after animal food, diminished after vegetable.
