In short: How does your body keep calcium and phosphate levels stable? This video explores the complex endocrine feedback loops involving specific hormones that manage bone, kidney, and gut physiology.

The presentation examines how three primary regulators—Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), Vitamin D, and calcitonin—coordinate to maintain mineral homeostasis. It breaks down the physiological impact of these hormones on various systems, specifically focusing on their roles in the bones, kidneys, and intestines.

By moving beyond simple memorization, the content aims to provide clinical insight into how these mechanisms function together to regulate essential nutrients for health.
