Detailed explanation-1: -Bones are the main storage site of calcium in the body. Your body cannot make calcium. The body only gets the calcium it needs through the food you eat, or from supplements.
Detailed explanation-2: -Calcium is the major component of the bone, where it is present at more than 99% as calcium-phosphate complexes, and provides the skeleton strength and structure, making the bone a metabolic reservoir to maintain the intra-and extra-cellular calcium pool.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mineral storage – the bones themselves are made of minerals and act as a mineral store for calcium and phosphorous, which can be given up if the body requires the minerals for other functions. Attachment of muscles – the bones of the skeleton provide surfaces for the attachment of muscles.
