Calcium homeostasis is crucial for various bodily functions, with 99% of calcium stored in bones and only 1% being mobile. Regulation of calcium levels is primarily managed by parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin D, which act on the kidneys, intestines, and bones. Disorders such as hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia can occur, with treatments including medications like calcitonin, bisphosphonates, and vitamin D supplements.
