Summary Introduction

To determine:

The three organs or the tissues, which maintain the concentration of the calcium in the body fluids.

Introduction:

The calcium metabolism and the homeostasis is maintained by the parathyroid hormone. The organs involved in the regulation of the calcium balance include: bones, kidney and the digestive system. The decrease in the levels of the calcium in the body causes the secretion of the parathyroid hormone. The release of the parathyroid hormone causes absorption and the assimilation of the calcium in the body.
