calcium storage

Calcium storage in the body primarily occurs in the bones and teeth, where it is stored as a mineral called hydroxyapatite. These structures act as reservoirs, maintaining calcium levels in your blood and other tissues. When the body needs calcium for functions like muscle contractions, nerve signaling, or blood clotting, it releases calcium from bones. Conversely, when there's excess calcium, it is stored in bones. The regulation of calcium storage and release involves hormones such as parathyroid hormone and calcitonin, ensuring the right amount of calcium is available when needed for vital biological processes.
