Question

The bones are a storehouse of calcium and phosphorus for the rest of the body.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

The skeleton is also a storehouse for two minerals, calcium and phosphorus, that are essential for the functioning of other body systems, and this storehouse must be called upon in times of need. The maintenance of a constant level of calcium in the blood as well as an adequate supply of calcium and phosphorus in cells is critical for the function of all body organs, but particularly for the nerves and muscle.
