Abstract
This chapter describes the structure and actions of vitamin D, which is essential for maintaining a positive calcium balance and skeletal integrity, and the parathyroid hormone (PTH), responsible for minute-to-minute maintenance of calcium homeostasis, which is critical for neuromuscular activity.
