What hormone controls levels of calcium in blood and helps maintain balance of phosphorus?

Parathyroid hormone (PTH), released by the parathyroid gland; and calcitonin, released by the thyroid gland, control the levels of phosphorus in the body. Most of the phosphorus in the body is stored in the form of phosphate (PO4) attached to calcium in the skeletal systems to form calcium phosphate [Ca3(PO4)2]. When PTH is released, excess phosphate is released into the urine and calcium is released from the skeletal system into the bloodstream. The calcitonin plays its part by helping form calcium phosphate molecules, where they become part of a mineral matrix in the bone. Because of the relationship between PTH and calcitonin, calcium and phosphate maintain proportionally inverse levels in the blood.

Calcium to Phosphorus : 2 : 1
Does thyroid and parathyroid glands help regulate calcium balance?
yes it controls the interior of the body
What organ system is a storage place for calcium and phosphorus?
Calcium and phosphorus are two of the minerals found in the body. The skeletal system serves as a storage place for calcium and phosphorus.
What is the Chemical formula for calcium and phosphorus?
There is no "formula" for "calcium and phosphorus". The symbol for calcium is Ca; the symbol for phosphorus is P. You'd have to specify an actual compound in order to get a formula.
Which vitamin functions like a hormone?
Vitamin D functions like a hormone and controls body levels of calcium and phosphorus and the mineralization of bones
What are two minerals needed in the diet to develop strong bones?
calcium and phosphorus
What is the formula for calcium and phosphorus?
Calcium and Phosphorus combined would be Calcium Phosphide , its formula is Ca3P2

Why there is phosphorus in toothpaste?

What happen when there is too much calcium in your body?
If you are healthy your body will just get rid of it. If you have failing kidneys, as kidney functions decline the body is unable to get rid of the calcium it absorbs that is not used by the bones. The failing kidney also has difficulty eliminating excess phosphorus in the blood. When calcium and phosphorus are not in balance serious health problems can happen.
What are the natural sources of these elements of phosphorus calcium?
Phosphorus is extracted from Apatites (a class of tri-calcium Phosphate Mineral).Calcium is found in Dolomite, Calcite and Gypsum
