Step-by-step explanation:

The skeletal system helps maintain mineral homeostasis by regulating the level of calcium and other minerals in the blood by storing or releasing them from bones as needed. Bones also regulate blood glucose and fat deposition through the secretion of the endocrine hormone osteocalcin.
