The movement of calcium ions between the body fluids and cells is known as calcium homoeostasis. Calcium plays a critical role in different metabolic processes and is also an important part of the bones. Hence, maintaining the levels of calcium in body fluids, cells and bones is highly important.

In the endocrine system, the thyroid gland producing the thyroculcitonin hormone and the parathyroid gland producing the parathyroid hormone (PTH) play great roles in calcium homeostasis.
