Chapter 12.5, Problem 3CYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The role of skeletal system for calcium homeostasis.
Introduction:
Calcium homeostasis is the process that maintains the calcium level in the bones. Thelevel of calcium is maintained by parathyroid hormones. The reabsorptions of bone by osteoclasts, release calcium ions into the blood and assists to regulate the calcium homeostasis.

Because of the constant exchange of blood calcium and bone calcium, the concentration of calcium ions in the blood and tissue is very steady. Describe the process of calcium mobilization in bone tissue.
Explain the hormonal control of blood calcium homeostasis.
The concentration of calcium ions in the blood and tissue is quite stable because of a continuous interchange between blood calcium and bone calcium. Describe how calcium is mobilized in bone tissue.
