Drag and drop to complete the discussion of calcium metabolism in the skeletal system Calcium is a chemical element that cannot be produced by any biological process and must enter the body is through the diet. The bones act as a storage site for calcium: The body deposits calcium in the bones when blood levels get too high, and it releases calcium when blood levels drop too low When circulating levels of calcium are inadequate, the cells release demineralization process releases calcium into the blood. It also promotes reabsorption of of normal, this cycle of events is turned off When blood levels of calcium get too high, the calcium uptake by the bones, but also decreases reabsorption of calcium by the kidneys. All of these actions lower blood levels of calcium. which stimulates proliferation and resorption of bone. This from the urine by the kidneys. It also stimulates the synthesis which in turn, stimulates caldium absorption from any digested food in the smal intestine. When all these processes return blood calcium levels to gland is stimulated to release which inhibits osteoclast activity and stimulates caldumcalcitoninosteoclastparathyroid hormonethyrold vitamin D
