osteoblasts
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.
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.
They are called stem cells.
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.
Osteoclasts break down bone, which will essentially increase the amount of free calcium in the blood stream. Osteoblasts "build" bones from the free calcium in the blood. Calcium is involved in muscle contraction, so if you lack the necessary calcium in your diet, your body will actually break down bone material in order to obtain the necessary calcium for proper muscle function.
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.
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.
No, calcium phosphate is insoluble. This is why calcium levels are kept low inside the cytoplasm (eukaryotic cells).
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.

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.
*Calcium maintains healthy red blood cells. Calcium is part of a functioning of the nervous system. Calcium is important in blood clotting. Calcium helps forms and maintain bones and teeth.

The hormone Calcitonin has the effect of reducing blood calcium levels. The hormone comes from the thyroid gland and works in basically three ways. 1. It works to slow absorption of calcium by the intestine. 2. It also inhibits the osteoclast (cells in bone that break down old bone tissue) that raise blood calcium levels. 3. It causes osteoblast (cells in bone that lay down new bone matrix) to form new bone. This explanation is at it's simplest form of course.
