Question
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.
