The skeletal system contribute to homoeostasis in various ways. It produces new red blood cells to replace the old ones and also uses the osteoblasts and osteoclasts cells to maintain balance in the body.
Blood
The thyroid gland produces calcitonin which lowers blood calcium levels and the parathyroids produce parathyroid hormone which increases blood calcium levels.
Your body's hormonal system (the endocrine system) is not programmed to respond to a lack of calcium in the diet. If it did have an opportunity to respond to low levels of calcium it might secrete more calcitonin, the hormone that helps build bone by decreasing blood calcium levels and encouraging the bone-building cells called osteoblasts to produce mature bone cells called osteocytes.
The parathyroid glands produce and secrete parathyroid hormone which regulates calcium levels in the blood. Since it increases blood calcium levels, it promotes the function of osteoclasts, which reduce the calcium in bones and promote its increase in the blood stream.
osteoblasts
The hormone Calcitonin made from the thyroid gland stimulates the production of osteoblasts to deposit calcium in the bones, lowering the calcium ion levels in the bloodstream.
the skeletal system plays an important role in regulating blood calcium levels to maintain homeostasis.It gives calcium to the blood
Bones are dynamic in the sense that they are constantly being broken down and built back up. When blood calcium levels are low, cells called osteoclasts break down bone matrix and release the calcium into the blood. When blood calcium levels are high, cells called osteoblasts take calcium out of the blood and use it the built bone matrix.
The answer to this is the Parathyroid. The Parathyroid acts to maintain calcium levels in the blood. Thus, if there is a irregularity in the calcium levels, there is also most likely an irregularity in the Parathyroid.

Osteoclasts which break down existing bone matrix and osteoblasts which lay down new bone matrix in areas that are under the greatest stress such as gravity or where muscles pull on bones.

It increases the concentration of calcium in the blood. Calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels.
