Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which bones participates in calcium homeostasis.
Concept introduction:
Calcium is an important mineral that is essential and is needed in large number of reactions. It is used in reactions like in the formation of bones and teeth, in polarization of membranes and conduction of nerve impulses and in many other reactions of the body. It is also needed in the process of blood clotting. Hence, it participates in large number of reactions that are very crucial for human body.
