osteoblasts
Osteoblasts, which are bone-forming cells, can take calcium from the blood to build and strengthen bones. Additionally, some specialized cells in the kidneys called distal convoluted tubule cells play a role in regulating calcium levels by reabsorbing or excreting calcium as needed.
Bone cells that liquefy the bone matrix and release calcium into the blood are called Osteoclasts. Immature or matrix depositing bone cells are called osteoblasts.
True, blood calcium is very tightly regulated there are two types of bone cells that will either take up excess calcium if blood levels get too high or break down bone to release calcium if blood levels get to low. Both of these bone cells are controlled by the endocrine system in the body.
The C cells of the thyroid gland produce calcitonin, a hormone that helps regulate calcium levels in the blood. Calcitonin works to decrease calcium levels by inhibiting bone breakdown and promoting calcium uptake by the bones.
Ostioclasts are the cells that lay down the calcium salts that are the bony part of bone. Ostioblasts are the cells that dissolve the bony salts. Note : condroclasts and chondroblasts do the same thing for the collagen matrix of bone. They all work together to form and modify bone.

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.
Bone cells that liquefy the bone matrix and release calcium into the blood are called Osteoclasts. Immature or matrix depositing bone cells are called osteoblasts.
Parathyroid hormone functions to stimulate activity in bone cells to release calcium into the bloodstream when blood calcium levels are low. This helps to maintain proper calcium levels in the body for normal nerve and muscle function.
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.
Calcitonin is released from the C cells (also known as parafollicular cells) in the thyroid gland. It helps regulate calcium levels in the blood by decreasing calcium levels when they are too high.

Calcitonin is the hormone secreted by cells of the thyroid gland that works with parathyroid hormone to regulate calcium levels in the blood and tissues. Calcitonin helps to lower blood calcium levels by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone tissue and release calcium into the bloodstream.
The body naturally dissolves calcium deposits through a process called resorption, where specialized cells break down and remove excess calcium from tissues. This process helps maintain the balance of calcium in the body and prevent the buildup of deposits in areas such as joints or blood vessels.
The C cells of the thyroid gland produce calcitonin, a hormone that helps regulate calcium levels in the blood. Calcitonin works to decrease calcium levels by inhibiting bone breakdown and promoting calcium uptake by the bones.
The thyroid gland has certain cells known as parafollicular cells (AKA C cells) that secrete a hormone known as calcitonin that can decrease blood calcium levels.
