A function of the skeletal system is to act as a storage area for calcium true or false?
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.
Glands that release hormones into the blood are part of which system?
endocrine system
What are the two systems of the body involved in the indirect communication of cells?
endocrine (slow chemical messages, transported in the blood) or nervous (extremley fast electical messages transported via neurones)
Where does the urinary system filters waste from?
the urinary system filters waste from blood
Increases actions regulated by the nervous system such as heart rate and blood pressure?
The baroreceptor is part of the autonomic nervous system. It increases actions regulated by the nervous system, such as heart rate and blood pressure.
How is calcium regulated in the blood?
The body's calcium level is regulated by a gland in the endocrine system, it is called the Parathyroid Gland.

What system regulates the body by releasing chemicals into the blood stream?
I think that you are thinking of hormones (chemicals) and these are regulated by the endocrine system.
What is locally regulated in the blood by the active form of vitamin D which acts as a cofactor?
Ionic calcium: Calcium absorption is closely related to blood levels of ionic calcium. It is locally regulated by the active form of Vitamn D, which promotes active calcium absorption. pg 900 Anatomy Book
Why does the endocrine system depend on the circulatory system?
hormones from the endocrine system are transported through blood
What is locally regulated in the blood by the active form of vitamin D?
calcium
What kind of endocrine gland is characterized by a low level of calcium in the blood serum and urine?
Do you mean an endocrine gland that can lower calcium level? If this is your question, the answer is thyroid gland. It produdes calcitonin that lowers calcium level opposing the effect of parathyroid gland which increases calcium level.If you mean, a condition that is characterized by low level of calcium in blood, it is called hypocalcemia.
Calcium levels in the blood and tissues are regulated by calcitonin working with the hormone?
The parathyroid hormone
Glands that release hormones into the blood are part of which system?
endocrine system
Is the endocrine system a composition of blood and bones?
yes
What endocrine glands manages the calcium level in blood stream?
The Parathyroid glands are situated on posterior side of thyroid gland. They are responsible for increasing the level of calcium ions in blood.
What are the two systems of the body involved in the indirect communication of cells?
endocrine (slow chemical messages, transported in the blood) or nervous (extremley fast electical messages transported via neurones)
