How do Calcium and Phosphorus relate to the skeletal system?
A
Calcium and Phosphorus are made by the skeletal sytem
B
Calcium and Phosphorus are stored in the skeletal system
C
Calcium and Phosphorus are toxic to the skeletal system
D
There is no connection between the skeletal system, Calcium and Phosphorus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mineral calcium helps your muscles, nerves, and cells work normally. Your body also needs calcium (as well as phosphorus) to make healthy bones. Bones are the main storage site of calcium in the body. Your body cannot make calcium.

Detailed explanation-2: -They are endowed with a transport system that accumulates Pi inside the matrix vesicles, followed by the influx of Ca ions. This process leads to the formation of hydroxyapatite crystal and its subsequent association with the organic matrix collagen fibrils.

Detailed explanation-3: -For one, the bone matrix acts as a reservoir for a number of minerals important to the functioning of the body, especially calcium, and phosphorus. These minerals, incorporated into bone tissue, can be released back into the bloodstream to maintain levels needed to support physiological processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sixty-five percent of bone tissue is inorganic mineral, which provides the hardness of bone. The major minerals found in bone are calcium and phosphorus in the form of an insoluble salt called hydroxyapatite [chemical formula: (Ca)10(PO4)6(OH)2].
