multiple choice
nerves
blood
bones

Calcium is a crucial mineral in the human body. Bones serve as a major storage site for calcium. They store about 99% of the body's calcium. This calcium in bones is not just for structural support but also for maintaining calcium levels in the blood (through processes like bone remodeling). Nerves and blood have calcium but in much smaller amounts compared to bones. Teeth also have calcium (enamel is made of hydroxyapatite which contains calcium), but the total amount in bones is greater than in teeth.
