Calcium phosphate metabolism

Calcium phosphate metabolism involves the balance and regulation of calcium and phosphate levels in your body, mainly managed by parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, and calcitonin. These minerals are essential for building strong bones and teeth, with calcium providing structural support and phosphate contributing to mineralization. When blood calcium or phosphate levels are low, the body adjusts by absorbing more from food, releasing minerals from bones, or reducing excretion through the kidneys. Proper regulation ensures skeletal health, muscle function, and nerve signaling, maintaining overall mineral balance vital for your body's functions.
