What are the functions of calcium in the bones?

Answer 1

Calcium is stored in the connective tissue that forms the base of the bone. This calcium makes the bone rigid.

A person's bones are mostly composed of connective tissue that contains a small amount of calcium when they are born. As the person grows, the tissue also grows and calcium begins to deposit in different areas gradually, leaving some areas devoid of calcium. These areas will be responsible for the elongation of the bones during puberty.
