GlossaryCalcium Homeostasis

regulation of calcium levels in blood and tissues

Calcium homeostasis refers to the regulation of calcium levels in the blood and tissues, ensuring they remain within a narrow, optimal range. This balance is crucial for various bodily functions, including muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and bone health. The body maintains calcium homeostasis through the coordinated actions of the parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, and calcitonin, which control calcium absorption, excretion, and storage.
