Homeostatic mechanisms regulating mineral deposition and turnover primarily involve hormones such as parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin, and vitamin D. PTH increases calcium levels by stimulating bone resorption, while calcitonin lowers calcium levels by promoting bone deposition. Vitamin D enhances calcium and phosphate absorption from the intestines and supports bone mineralization. Together, these hormones maintain calcium and phosphate balance, ensuring proper mineralization and remodeling of bone tissue.
