Are there more notable metals that work in the human body in coordination compounds that we should be familiar with or are the 4 functions and corresponding metals in our reader all that we must know?

Everything discussed in my class, in the course reader, in the textbook readings and homework should be known.

Anything bound to a transition metal cation results in the formation of a metal complex.
See examples I covered in class, in my lecture notes, and in the homework.
