Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calcium homeostasis primarily involves immediate adjustments required to maintain a constant free Ca²⁺ concentration on a minute-to-minute basis. Slowly responding adjustments required to maintain a constant total amount of Ca²⁺ in the body are not the primary focus of calcium homeostasis. Calcium homeostasis is maintained primarily by the actions of parathyroid hormone, while the calcium level in blood may be lowered by the action of calcitonin.
